This weekend sibs and I went through boxes of old family photos, some from the 1920s. I wanted to email some to sis in Biloxi. My iPad reproduced them beautifully - sharp resolution and accurate color, great reproduction of the black & whites. Very easy cropping. Time from pushing the "shutter" button to arriving, edited and cropped, in Biloxi: about 90 seconds. Great machine.
Cool gramps! Before I came to Canada and before there were iPhones or iPads, my bro and I scanned all of our old photos to my computer and burned them on discs. Gave one to all the family members and brought two with me. Of course today, I would just put them on a USB flash drive lol! My how things have changed in just 13 years.
Youngest daughter, who has very few print pictures lost all of hers when their computer crashed a few years ago. Luckily, they were recovered, but she quickly put them on a USB drive and has them stored in their safety deposit box with new ones transferred regularly. At one time I kept my negatives in a safety deposit box after a friends house burned and she lost all of her photos. Besides a life, photos are one of the most precious things you can't replace.
