Erika,
I use a Cannon Coolpix 995, orientation of the camera is very easy with the
viewscreen/lens pivot feature. you can use the auto increment capabilities
of your data collection device (I use Trimble Terrasynce) to keep track of
the image file name during data entry and then merge them together when you
download your data.
