camera with specific features/does this exist?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread |
I'm looking for a digital camera with the following features:uses a memory card for images
enables unique file names for each image (containing sequentially numbered date/time/file name, etc.)
the ability to incorporate data into the picture for the camera
These features are important as the camera is to be used for recording construction/engineering information and these requirements are essential for both documentation and legal purposes.
I've been searching the net for something with *all* of these features but so far have come up with nothing that meets the necessary criteria.
Thanks for your help.

If you photos are going to be used for legal purposes I would look into the information at this web site.http://www.epson.com/cam_scan/cam_extras/ias/

Thanks for the quick reply. The "legal" aspect is important but as the usage is going to be primarily in the field on construction/inspection sites the ability to incorporate data into the picture (along with individual file names/time stamps) is very important. I'm not sure if there is a camera that can do this directly or if the process is "after the fact" of the picture being taken when the card can be processed by software on a laptop.Karen Jurgens Malcolm Pirnie, Inc.
