Thank you, Richard for such an informative posting. I am going to save it and ask for that camera for my birthday. My friend's photo that was ruined by an unskilled person and was one of those in an oval frame and was over 100 years old. I was trying to help prevent someone else making this error in attempting copies when I suggested taking these to an experienced person. This may still be the best route if we don't have good equipment of our own. Thanks again for your posting the information. Marianne Crews
