[Digitalarchivists] New A2200 Cameras on diyscanner

[John Shutt]

Good news, though! The super nice DSLR cameras are now in Noisebridge,
locked in a secure location. They work smoothly with the scanning script
and take higher quality photos than the A2200s. If you want to come to the
space and do some scanning, send me an email and I'll tell you how to get
the cameras.
