Secondly, it's cool, and I think the customers will like to see their parts prior to receiving them (okay, it's a cool gimmick, but we all like gimmicks). With our current system, it would be very easy to implement. Except for the fact that I need a very good camera with specific capabilities. I tend to think that this *does* exist somewhere. Here are the requirements:

- 3 or so Megapixel
- Built-in flash
- Networked (either WiFi or ethernet with ethernet preferred)
- Auto-transfer of images from camera to server (via FTP for example)
- Remote trigger (either triggered through a actual cable, or a remote command from a computer)

It would be great to give the camera an IP address, send it a "TAKE PICTURE" command via HTTP (along with an order number), and then have it store it on our server. Integrating it with our current web-based invoicing system would be very easy.

Anyone know if this exists?

Friends have gifted me with a couple of point & shoot digital cameras...
My problem? No desire to use them...hell, the insruction manuals are bigger than the cameras. So..you want one?
