There are a variety of digital cameras available with capabilities well beyond those of “smart” phones for less than $50. If you want to up your budget to $100 you can get several quite nice cameras and, if you’re willing to take a chance on a used or remanufactured camera they get even better.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"> </span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:">ddf</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"> </span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:">Delwin D Fandrich</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:">Piano Design & Fabrication</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:">6939 Foothill Court SW, </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:">Olympia, Washington 98512 USA</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:">Phone  360.515.0119 — Cell  360.388.6525</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"><a href="mailto:del@fandrichpiano.com">del@fandrichpiano.com </a></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:">— </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"><a href="mailto:ddfandrich@gmail.com">ddfandrich@gmail.com</a></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"> </span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"> <a href="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org">pianotech-bounces@ptg.org</a> [<a href="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org?">mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b><a href="mailto:tnrwim@aol.com">tnrwim@aol.com</a><br> <b>Sent:</b> Saturday, September 29, 2012 11:05 AM<br> <b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:joegarrett@earthlink.net">joegarrett@earthlink.net</a>; <a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</a><br> <b>Subject:</b> Re: [pianotech] Keep Mehlins Weird</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"> </div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:">Joe, You're overreacting to this. You don't need a digital camera attached to your body. All you need is a smart phone that takes pictures. I think having a picture of what you're trying to describe will go a long way towards letting everyone else see what you're talking about. It's just one more way that technology is helping us become better technicians.  But I guess you're not up on the latest technology, or don't think you need it</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"> </span></div> </div> </div> </div>  </div> </font>
