What's the difference?  Is the 950 still being sold new?

I remember looking at these when you first posted, and being quite impressed with the picture quality.  The video screen is actually about the closest thing to a slide viewer in terms of brightness and saturation.  Unfortunately, you lose something in sharpness, but still, the pictures look pretty good.

The Tri-Delta splitter takes horizontal images.  This is the one that uses mirrors and a prism to put the images top-to-top on a single frame.  It would be easy enough to separate them and re-orient them in Photoshop.

Will do!  If I get this going, I'll put samples on the Web.
