Iris Photos (digital cam)

I find all the discussion on what technique  to use in photographing  irises
using todays latest  technology  very interesting...... Considering uses in
publishing - iris business catalogs  - clipArt -  Web Pages, etc......
----------------------- 0 ---------------------

I find my situation is slightly different - It is deciding between  (1) a new
Digital camera -  (2) a new Video camera and use it with my SNAPPY or (3)
continue to use the  KONICA.Service  or (4) buy a new scanner.......

1.   I have used the Casio X10 (bottom of the line) and the results look very
good on the computer screen.  But that's as far as I 've been able to go with
the photos..   No print-outs, etc.  (still evaluating Casio)

2.  I've seen iris catalogs prepared using the Video-Snappy approach and the
results are very impressive..  

3. Konica is still  very reasonable - but you must plan the shots ahead of time
(horizontal shots, close-ups, etc)  The snapshots can then be converted to a BMP
file which have approx. 241,000 bytes. (uncompressed) 

(4)  I like the scanner method - but it does take up table-top space and the end
results uses lots of bytes.. (yesterday I had an iris photo scanned and it used
over 3 MEGS ! )  Even compressing won't help that much - that's a lot of
bytes... !  Most of my images scanned professionally are close to 1.5 megs +..

 My new Web page uses methods 3 and 4.
