and film is king for large prints and reproduction where textures in nature and landscapes are important. The violent film vs. digital WWF death match smackdown articles are just to sell magazines and digital cameras. I'll get to the detailed differences below, but first let me put the whole...
From testing image detail, I have derived the following empirical equations that relate film resolution to the equivalent number of pixels a digital camera would need. The digital camera equivalent applies to a monochrome (Bayer) sensor that is common in consumer and pro digital cameras currently o...
remote camerasRemote-triggered cameras are an important tool in wildlife research and the increasing availability of digital camera technology can potentially provide researchers with additional options and benefits. We compared the performance and cost of a remote digital camera system (passive infrared) ...
I was impressed by this scanner's dedicated lens for film and max optical resolution of 6400 dpi. But it still wasn't night and day versus the considerably cheaper Epson V600, and most of the time, I couldn't find any differences. Unless you really want to pixel peep, I think for ...
Make sure to check compatibility between lens types (MD versus MC) if you intend to use the X-700’s program auto mode (MC lenses are aperture priority or manual only). Robert’s Camera is rarely without severalX-700 bodies in stock. ...
we’ve had time to reflect on the difference between watching at home versus in a theater. The shared big-screen experience has joys that will never be recreated in one’s family room, but there are certain pictures that actually play better at home. I believe “7500” is one of them....
Film is the original raw, and holds far more information than any digital file from a camera sensor. Film records the original living, breathing, natural image in tangable form forever. Film images last forever, versus memory cards and hard drives which we rarely are able to read after more...
And while regular Polaroids may not be as wide, they have a larger image area than Instax Wide shots (coming in at 6,241mm² versus 6,138mm²). So there you have it – instant camera film sizes made easy. If only we could make instant camera film cheaper… (Image...
This Instructable shows you the details of how to quickly convert film negatives into quality positives using a digital camera or smartphone. This method will allow you to digitize negatives at a rate of approximately one every 5-10 seconds, versus one every 2-3 minutes when using a film scan...
Ever since I got back into photography as a hobby, I’ve been genuinely surprised at the frequency and ferocity of film-versus-digital debates. I’m not sure why they get so heated, or why they even happen at all. I’d like to blame the polarization that afflicts our society – us-...
