Using a Camera to Scan Docs ....

I read a post a while back on using scanr to use either a cell phone or digital camera to scan docs while in remote locations ... well, I attempted to use a portable web cam and the image did not have enough resolution ... so I used my trusty old 2MP Panasonic camera to take an image using the macro settings ...

You then send the photo as an attachment to them and it comes right back as a standard pdf file ... pretty slick and really could come in handy if you are on the road ... need to hold it still, or be under good lights, but it works ....
