Re: digital cameras & 3d

[P3D Charles D Hotchkiss <revcdh@xxxxxxxx>]

There's been some talk about using digital cameras for Stereo
photography.  I have been trying it with a little Kodak DC20 for a couple
of weeks, shifting the camera between exposures.  As you might expect, it
works fine, it is just like any other camera.  I've printed the results
on Kodak Inkjet Photo paper and the results arepretty good and, on
scenics, very pleasing.
It's just that film is better and I have a scanner, so there's no point
in screwing around with it.
