Steven, This is a start. I copied all my old photos from my album with a cam-corder. It was quite a long task, but I was going away from home for a while and the thoughts of a fire kept me determined to finish the task. I propped my album up on an easel and using the macro setting so that I could get in close, I was able to film even the smallest snapshot. I did hook it up through a small TV so that I could see what I was doing. I don't know if this is absolutely necessary. They turned out simply wonderful as I looked at them on the larger TV screen. Now here is the hitch. I planned to photo them off my TV screen, but have never gotten to this. I really think it will work, but can't say for sure. At least I was able to preserve them from harm and you could do this without taking them out of someone's home. How would you get them into your computer from a camcorder? I don't know about this.
