[filmscanners] RE: traffic

["Bernie Kubiak" <bkubs@comcast.net>]

Berry,

I've gotten reasonable quality prints from my Minolta DiMage S414, but
there are a number of quality cameras out there now -- Oly E1, Pentax
*ist (a friend just got one - impressive camera), Nikon D70, Canon's
digital rebel.  Check the reviews at dpreview.com or the commentaries
at luminous-landscape.com.  I'm waiting for Minolta's DSLR before
deciding, since I have all Minolta glass at the moment.

I'm hanging on to my 6x6's and 645's though -- both for darkroom and
scanning on the Epson 2450 (which I'll be upgrading soon).  My trusty
Polaroid 4000 takes care of the 35mm stuff.

Bernie

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....
