Ummm... OK, I'll take that challenge. How much
bandwidth DO you have? My
camera is easily capable of capturing images at this level. If you really
want to read the IC numbers and resistor color codes, I've got the space to
post it.
Now, we're drifted into the middle of nowhere - The original question
was what kind of camera to use to get classic comp pics. Throughout
the discusion it's clear that, unless you use a USD 20.000,- camera,
there is no solution to fit all needs (May I point back to the A-F
solutions ?). Fact is that most digital cameras ara just good
to take an overview snapshoot to give a basic idea, but allone
the difference between a C64 and C64G ist not visible (not to
speak of the differenve between an AT and an AT386).
But honestly, how many 2+MB images are you (or anyone
else for that matter)
going to download? And what type of content are you looking for that would
be considered "useful"?
Any amount (got still some unused DAT tapes :).
Take again the B500 example ... the enlagement.
<BG> 'Real world'... (that amusing
qualification since part of what I do
in 'real life' is web design) seems to want 'eye candy' and quick page
load
times. So... until everyone is universally blessed with multi-MB/Sec
connections, we continue the search for the mythical 'happy medium'.
Well, real life ? whats that ?
