TPF Noob!
Hi everyone, I'm a noob here at TPF, and have got a pretty difficult problem in hand, and I'm looking for opinion from anyone who might be able to help me.
We are developing a special table for digitalizing publications such as newspapers and magazines. The idea is to mount a digicam in an semi-fixed arm, and take picturs of the publications from a distance of about 30 - 50 cms (12 - 20 inches). We have not yet opted for a particular digicam, with good macro perfomance, but one of the main issues here is: We intend to have the preview of the photo, for focusing and framing, straight from the PC, via the USB or other cable. Is there a particular digital camera that has this feature? In following post I'll be asking more question about the problems I'll be facing, with lighting and reflection, but at this particular time, I'm trying to solve this very first issue.
Thanks in advance to anyone shedding a light into my problem.
Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina!

P.S. Feel free to ask for further clarification is something's not clear enough.
