At the bottom of this page there are links to search or browse the archives: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Technical/SCANNERS-PHOTOS.html One recommendation I will add for digital cameras is to find one that uses ordinary RECHARGABLE AA batteries. Some cameras use special batteries that are hard to find, and expensive. Digital cameras go through batteries FAST; you'll want to get a few spares and a charger. Digital cameras are nice! There's one difference, though, between my digital camera and my film camera that's been hard to adjust to. Digital cameras have a quite noticable lag from when you press the shutter release until it captures the picture; with a film camera it's instantaneous. Not a big deal if your subject isn't moving (grave markers), but a lot of my pictures of children are their backs! If action is important, be sure to try it out when you're looking for cameras. The last time I was shopping for a camera, the Sony cameras were supposed to have the shortest time delay, but they were still unacceptable for fast action, in my opinion.
