RE: Future of Photography (was RE: filmscanners: real value?)
Hi, Michael!
Uhh... 35Mb file at 24bits per pixel corresponds to what... 1.45 million
pixels. That's just 8 bit color.
Uhhh...350Mbyte file corresponds to 14.5 Megapixels at 24 bits/pixel.
That's not an array, though, thats a scanning back! That's cheating! We're
talking about cameras that you can shoot things that are moving! (or I am,
anyway!) I don't believe that a good 4x5" transparency scanned at 1200 dpi
on a flat bed would be any worse than what would come off of that 4x5 back
to which you refer. (that's 28.8 megapixels at 1200dpi or 691Megabytes at 24
bits/pixel)
I'm not convinced that my balls need cleaning...

did I really say that??? :-)

For
: professional photography, there will be specialized digital camera
backs
: that can do perhaps as much as 25Mpixels or better using scanning
: technologies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your crystal ball needs a polish.
Ive got the cheapest scan back that LightPhase sell and it delivers a
crystal clear 35Mb file on the back of my Hasselblad.
Some of the units for 5x4" cameras will deliver 350Mb and trust me ,the
quality is far superior to film and scanning !
Perhaps the way foreword will be CMOS as used in the Canon D30.I wait
with tightly shut wallet
