So a camera with complicating settings won't work. The computer I'm pretty good with so connection to it would be really great. I have saved all of my doubled dies and mm's from the last couple of years and I have a bunch to take pics of and pretty sure I have some new finds. But I gotta get a set up that is not so complicated.
Everyones suggestions in here are really good, just wish I were more "photo smart".
Thanks everyone.
