Shopper conversation with Jeff H. on August 02, 2016

Hello, welcome to Adorama how are you today? My name is Jeff, how can I assist you?
I've just received 80 pen and ink drawings of fashion plates circa 1925. I'd like to publish an ebook. 1st I need the right equiptment. So what do I get?
I need to make very true to life and accurate copies that can be uploaded. Each sheet is larger than a standard sized scanner.
Jeff H.
In that case, I would recommend a DSLR to take a photo of the drawings. That way you could upload the photos. If color is extremely important then you could do something like the x-rite color checker to make color profiles. That is what I use
When the collar matters with my photography.
Something like that the 7200
I assume you sell or lease that stuff/ How do I find it?
Jeff H.
I linked a camera that would work for a well. It was the Nikon D 7200
There is the link again
That's okay, I'll just bookmark the page. Thank you for your help!

I would also recommend a tripod similar to this. This way you can position the camera and it would be very stable to take the best possible photo
You're very welcome, don't miss the link to the tripod I just recommended as well
You can use the tripod to hold the camera over the photos for the best possible photo
