Creating Folders in Camera (Canon SD300)

[ozone567]

I am having a problem trying to figure out a digital camera that allows you to create folders manually within the camera itself.

Here is the situation we are in:

Our business provides inventoring services, we enter all of the product information etc into a tablet pc and upload the data to the web. In addition to data we are also currently using a Canon SD300 digital camera to take pictures of the product(s).

The images get uploaded to our servers seperate of the product data on the PCs. So, the problem is ensuring that all of the pictures for a given product are correctly associated with their corresponding product data. The images are uploaded to one central location, then an app runs to take those pictures and put them in their correct (client|product) specific location.

Right now the way we are doing it, is as we are entering data into the tablet PCs, there is a screen that asks for image names, and we are manually entering all of the image names as displayed on the camera for each picture, which in some cases may be 10 - 15 images and is very time consuming and more prone to user mistakes.

So, finally. The idea is if there is a way to manually create folders on a digital camera then all we have to do is specify that one folder name in our table pc app and not all of the image names.


Does anyone know of a camera that can do this, that is also preferrably the size of the Canon SD300 or any other small camera?

Or always open to other suggestions.

Thanks,

Bryan
