[filmscanners] RE: traffic



HI, Berry!

Digital cameras are much like computers.  If you wait to buy the best one,
you'll never get one!

What I did was get a couple of Nikon coolpixes (950 and 990) on eBay for my
wife and myself.   They are old enough to be quite affordable, and they have
advantages over many other cameras for my purposes (the 950 for example, can
take IR pictures without internal modification with a good IR pass filter,
at reasonable shutter speeds (like 1/15th second in bright sunlight)  The
twistable body has some advantages for shooting over people's heads.
There's many accessories available for them as well.

In the meantime, I still like and use my Kiev MF equipment and scan the
resulting images with my old Minolta Scan Multi II.

Maybe everybody has bought a digital camera!

Seriously, I'm thinking of doing just that.  But the trouble is that they
keep getting better so rapidly that I find I must keep waiting!

The ones I find most interesting right now are the Olympus E1 and the Sigma
SD10.  But the one I want may be the combination of the two.  The Fovian
chip is exciting, but what would you have if Olympus combined that with the
E1 4/3 thing?

My thinking is that there would be fewer problems if one went directly from
a digital image to paper rather than having to scan film.  In theory, you
would have eliminated one stage in the process, and that would be greater
simplicity.

The final product I seek includes ~12x18 prints on watercolor paper, using
an Epson 2200....
