He photgraphed a page from a deed book for me. It was legible, but the curvature of the open page was very noticible in the end result. I tried using it to copy some material at the library. I found it very difficutl to hold the camera steady enough to do that. That may be just me however. My hands get so shaky sometimes that I can't even type. Somewhere on the net I saw instructions for making a support to hold the camera while you copy pages from books, etc. There were three or four of them listed. I will see if I can find it and let you know. He has copied old photographs that belonged to other people. These turn out very well. He also copied the family information in my grandfather's Bible. There ws not as much curvature in that as there was in the deed. My son has a camera that uses a memory stick. I am anxious to see how it works at copying, etc. Evelyn
