(while your Super8-shoots do have 768lines) • Chip size: 5.80mm (H) × 4.92mm (V) • Unit cell size: 4.65µm (H) × 4.65µm (V) Fred. fredm the µm size of the pixels on your sensors are good! many of the consumer cameras/sensors on the market are sized between 2-4µm the l...

Eric, I'm really interested in seeing some sample images of your transfers in full resolution. Any chance you could share a few frames? Same here. If a picture is worth 1000 words, EMJ owes us about 100 pictures! It sounds like you've got hard drives full of the stuff, so post some frames and clips...

what are you doing with your files once you capture at a higher res? can you output to digibeta?.. or are you still ending up conforming the image down to a DV stream? I see the higher res option being worth while if you can find a way to manage the files afterwards to maintain the image quality. O...

what are you doing with your files once you capture at a higher res?jusetan I can only speak for myself, with my 1024x768 machine camera. I never capture uncompressed, but I use the lossles Huffyuv codec. And even then 30 minutes of film takes 20GB! These (huge) files ar playing fine on my HP pavil...

last year, when i started digitizing my films, i would let my canon run two and three days straight. it has not yet failed me in any big ways. the remote socket experienced some problems, but was easily fixed. the on camera display function goes wacky if the camera is running more then 12 hours at ...

roger, why not just call me a liar and save all of the retoric lines of questioning, You're going to tutor me on how to write more conservatively? That's a laugh. Roger my stupidity ends here and now. this is my last reply to you roger, but certainly not my last reply in this forum. perhaps that co...

My idea was for telecine one frame at a time so it should not be a problem. I would not use it for real time capture but you could if you needed to. A firewire 800 card or a SATA in a laptop connected to a portable FW800 or SATA raid zero (GRaid) should be fast enough. I have no experience yet with...

800,000 exposure cycles?? 8O The highest I heard/read about exposure cycles for DSLR was 200,000 for a very high end model (i think it was one of the pro Canon DSLRs). Typical exposure cycles I hear/read more often is around 100,000 for a DSLR of reasonable quality. yes, i supposed i am blessed, or...

Regarding 800,000 shutter actuations: , i supposed i am blessed, or lucky, or one of the few who has ACTUALLY trigged this many shutter accuations. Really? How long did it take you? most everything i read is assumptions, or people saying how they read or heard from the manufactures, etc. and so on....

my eye's rolled when I read that verrrrrrrrry over-optimistic 800,000 shutter life expectancy :roll: Agreed. Also, the issue isn't how long the shutter lasts but, rather, at what point do you start to get variations in exposure from frame to frame due to wear, even though the shutter may not actual...

regarding mechanical shutters, the typical life span of a canon digital rebel is about 800,000 accutations. a kodak dcs 14mp camera will most likely be about the same(not much differance between all dslr camera's and their shutter systems, mechanically speaking), but i have yet to accuate that many...

Do yourself a favour and start up a website. You would get lots of visitors and perhaps even attract some other inventor types like yourself. But to put all these words on a message board? yikes...I nodded off after the 800000000 shutter clicks. no thanks, no favour in there as i don't have the tim...
