I can do some very high quality photos with a very good DSLR camera. On the GC rev c board if any one needs it like for repairing traces and stuff.
Please reply, Thanks!

I think using a camera is counter productive, although if you scan the board first as a witness camera and you have a high MP canera you can use the scanner as a witness. scale and perspective is very important for these

it's not about how good the camera is it's about perspective
Assuming the photographer isn't retarded, perspective can be corrected for in photoshop. If he's got a DSLR, the chance is significantly higher that he knows how to take a picture.
If you have the stuff and are willing to do it, I see no reason why you shouldn't.

ttsgb, I agree, BUT it is much more reliable to scan a PCB at a resolution (for example 600DPI) and be able to take the DPI to figure out measurements. The flat lighting also brings out more detail for a board.
whereas a photo has almost no way to tell scale(whilst there are tools that can help with this,) and lighting is so much more important. Yes, there is the potential to get better detail with a photo, but it's not guaranteed.
When I hear someone talking about how good their camera is, without hearing them testify to their skills at all, I doubt the person has any. This might sound harsh but for someone who works in and AnimationVFX environment you are always better off to assume everyone is useless till they prove you wrong than giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Edit:That said, carlifirio, if you prove me wrong, I'll be embarrassed as Heck, but I will apologise
The only clear benefit I can think for capturing boards this way is that you wouldn't have to desolder every component to get a board scan.
