digital cameras

[Max Khesin]

many cameras are accessible as mounted drives on the machine, so
"downloading" per se is not a big deal. if you want to capture
programatically you will need to use twain or the windows equivalent, if the
camera supports it. you can then process it with PIL (Python imaging
library)
