Michael,

I don't see the process as being that clumsy, it's actually better organized than having all of the images thrown into one folder, and this is also assuming that there is some type of quick key or easy to access method to create the folder. The memory card idea is probably not a bad solution if your only taking images of a couple seperate thing. However, what happens in our case is that we may have to go and inventory 100 seperate units in one day and that's way too many cards, would be hard to manage and not cost effective. Also, this one mean sending out images back to our server one card at a time, rather than all at once.

We need to make sure all the images we shoot for each unit are all in their own respective folders so that when we load them to our server they can easily be identified by the automated process we have running.

There are cameras that allow for the folder creation, however, the only ones we have found are large Digital SLRs, we need to make sure that our camera is also small like the Canon PowerShot SD300 that we are currently using. We don't need anything special with the capability of attaching external lenses, or like 4 Mega pixels or anything.

Thanks for your response.
