I use Syntheyes for my 3D tracking and when it asks for the film back size it is just the size of the image like 960 x 720 or if I stretch it out first to 1280 x 720 for instance.

I am surprised your software is not that simple.

You might want to wait on that purchase. Monday RedRockMicro announced they are releasing their MicoX converter. This flips the image and the way the new system is set up it also sharpens the image from what they are claiming on there website. The cost will be $450 for the full kit with risers, new achromate and more. It ships March 24th

If you are looking for archiving your not going to beat the VXA-320 firewire tape drive.

This is not a video tape back up system so you are not down grading anything. Instead you get 160 gigs of storage on a $55 tape. You can freeze the tapes, drop in hot coffee and they will work just fine. The tapes are not as fragile as Blue Ray discs are. I too thought Blue Ray was the thing I wanted but this is much better for archiving. No swapping out discs and it burns 160 gigs in one go.

I have it and love it. After using this drive I will never use Blue Ray for archiving.

My 2 cents.

Hey Barry, we’ll see about that. I went to buy an 8 gig when the 16’s replaced the 8’s price. The prices were still full price and not $500 when the old stock was begin sold off. Maybe used on ebay but not new.

But that is good news if that is true, I could not find anything.

Thanks,

Those all sound nice but the one thing that I can almost assure you is that you will never see P2 cards for $500 new. They always seem to discontinue the smallest one in favor of keeping the price up. When I mentioned this before I was told that one possibility reason for this is the high demand on the cards so why should they waste time making the smaller ones.

So when the 64’s come out say goodbye to the 16’s. 32’s for $1000 and the 64’s $$$$. That has been the results for the last couple of changes. I would love to see $500 for 16’s $1000, 32’s and so on, but I doubt it.

What scares me about having my Battery attached to my HVX200 is that it might break of the tabs on the camera that holds the battery in place. I remember well some one posting here a year ago that said during his air travel with the battery on it brook off a couple of the tabs on the camera. Since that post I have been very carefull when putting on a removing the battery and never travel with it connected to the camera.
