Hi Gang,

    If you're a DIY type & want to save a few bucks you can make 2 of
    your own light boxes for very little. If you don't want to make your
    own, you can go to thelittlecameras.com & buy them ready made. Any
    Walgreen's has the necessary material. It's foam board. A 1/4 x 18 x
    24" piece is about $5.00. That's enough to make a 12 x 12 x 12" & a
    6 x 6 x6" light box. For the lights you can use Solux display case
    flood lights (5700K) or Daylight fluorescents. The small Dazor lamps
    work well. For a diffuser, use a white plastic garbage bag (or part
    of it). 

    To get an idea of what they look like, go to thelittlecameras.com &
    click on FAQ/More Info. Then scroll down to Light Boxes & look at
    the 2 on the far right. 

    Most of the boxes shown are geared to the USB cameras featured on
    the site, but the light boxes can be used with any digital or film
    SLR commonly in use today. 

    They work really well with the 411 USB camera. 

Dave
