Scripting digital cameras...?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Hi,

I'm working a project that requires some scripting, and I found several
references to digitaOS, and cameras that support DigitaOS. But all of those
cameras seem to be discontinued.

I want to install a camera in my home studio, and "control" the camera from
a computer. For example, I want to tell the camera to take a picture, then I
want to download the image to a specific directory on the computer, and send
it out attached to an email. I think DigitaOS scripting can do this.

Has DigitaOS been replaced with some newer technology for scripting cameras?
Can DigitaOS do what I want it to do? If you can shed any light on light on
this I would greatly appreciate the info.

Thank you,

Robert Stober
