The main problem I have with super 8 is that it's almost always really fast film...big grain, so it's very noisy...but great in low light. It's the same as having big pixels on a chip...great in low light, but looks like cr** as it pixelates. The advantage with HD is that the chip needs lots of ligh...

1/3" chip = 7mm 2/3" chip = 15mm we would need a 1.3" chip to have 35mm with a chip that size, and the equivalent number of pixels on the chip, your subjects would start to look like pacman. The solution has been to increase the resolution of the chip as it scales up...problem then is...

I made the mediachance one as well. I'm pretty happy with the results...just trying to figure out how to get it closer to my camera. The minimum focal distance on a Canon XL1s is quite long for this purpose. I built a rod system to go underneath it to lock it all together. The benefit of using a 35m...
