Re: Equipment or Software?
A three mega pixel camera pluged in to a Video moniter is all that needed plus a remote for the camera. Let them pose and press the remote to take the photo. Then use a program to print the four photos on the A4 paper. It can be automated using Perl srcipt, most likely on a Free BSD or a Linux distribution
Re: Equipment or Software?
Like Freygr said, the display and trigger of the shutter are already possible using any camera with video out and a remote release. As for printing automatically, on a Mac I would simply use Automator to visually create a script and the tie it to a folder as a folder action. That Automator script would take any new file and resize it and send it to the printer. Set the camera's software to write to that folder and you should be golden.
