Neat pictures I've taken

My parents have some prints, but they are mostly in sad shape and/or in albums with that sticky cling film holding them in place. If I go taking the prints out to scan them, it will take about 2 minutes per print, and then I'll have destroyed a photo album, so I'll have to buy new albums and assemble them.

I'm looking for a way to just quickly take a picture of a negative, shift the negative slightly, and take the next one. I'm hoping for about 5 seconds between taking each picture, and around 30 seconds to process each image.

It's all about speed, otherwise this is going to take forever and will never happen.

So I need to refine the system. But my test proves it's possible. I wasn't sure you could take a picture of a negative and eventually get a positive.
