[sudo-discuss] bookscanner cameras

[Jake]

I have acquired two Canon SD600 digital cameras for a bookscanner for 
sudoroom.

these cameras are good for a bookscanner because they can run chdk and 
thus be set to operate very cooperatively with a bookscanner.  plus they 
are good cameras.

the reason there are two is because a good bookscanner photographs both 
left and right pages at the same time.  The user flips the page, lowers 
the glass panels (which flatten the pages) and presses a single shutter 
button.

if anyone here wants to make a bookscanner, and someone is willing to 
bottomline the project (not me) i will hand over the cameras.
