I don’t have a real scanner but my 10megapixels Canon 400D always acts as my portable scanner. Just like last week, I was outside the school gate while waiting my transport to get me home, my friend got a set of Biology notes on his hands. I can’t borrow it for photocopying because he needed it on the weekends and here I got my camera in my bag. I asked him to hold the notes in the air and I snap every pages of it.

I was able to read through everything with a little bit of scrolling and zooming on my monitor screen. It’s good to have such a big screen when it comes to reading. =) The only problem is I can’t print the notes out, so it’s only available in the softcopy format.

One thing you should remember while snapping your notes with the camera, remember to focus and turn on flash (if possible).
