Video camera folks:

If you have ever wondered how image capture devices affect the quality
of
still images captured from video tape you might want to visit my web
site at http://www.angelfire.com/wa/minkgi
I have just posted the first in what will be a series of tests which
compare images captured from both analogue and digital tape. The same
image was captured using 1) the Snappy Deluxe 3.0 video snapshot, 2)
a Sony Memory Stick, and 3) a Firewire capture card using PhotoDV
software. The unadjusted images are posted for easy comparison.

If you have any specific questions or criticisms just e-mail me direct.

There are also some tests comparing different telephoto lenses at the
site.


Thanks
