Hi guys,
Probably an unusual request. We have a scientific need to take images of some items, such that we can use the image to compare with items produced at a later date. The scientific instrumentation needed to do this quantitatively will run near to 10k, so we are looking more basic solutions.
The solution that we have in mind is a light box (to produce uniform and reproducible lighting), camera mount and suitable camera. The tricky part is that the camera needs to do the same thing everytime. We cannot afford for it to do automatic corrections which may potentially be different each time the shots are taken. We don't really care about image quality, it is reproducibility. As such, we don't need really high quality imaging equipment, but we do need to be able to precisely define how it is taking the picture and turn off any clever electronics which could trip us up.
That in mind, can anyone recommend a camera which can have said electronics disabled, or at the least locked such that it does not change?
Thanks
