GOOD FOR STILL IMAGES AND SILENT FILMS
341167
IF YOU WANT STILL IMAGES AND SILENT FILMS TO SEND OVER THE INTERNET THIS IS FOR YOU.  FOR BEST RESULTS, ALWAYS TAKE IMAGES AND SILENT FILMS IN WELL LIT AREAS.  I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES IN DARKER AREAS OF MY AND IT'S NOT A PRETTY SITE.  TRUST ME.  FOR ALL WINDOWS USERS THAT WANT SOUND USE SOUND RECORDER AND FOR WINDOWS XP IT GETS BETTER.  AS A WINDOW XP USER I USE SOUND RECORDER AND WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER TO ADD SOUND.  AFTER DOING TRIAL AND ERROR I RECOMMEND WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER (SORRY ALL OTHER WINDOWS USERS) SINCE YOU WANT HAVE TO GO TO SOUND RECORDER, SAVE FILE, AND IMPORT IT TO WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER.  PLUS, GET THIS, IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO WINDOWS XP WHILE OPERATING MOVIE MAKER JUST SIMPLY PRESS CTRL ALT DEL AND CLICK END TASK ON THE WINDOWS MANAGER SCREEN THAT POPS UP AND WHETHER YOU HAVE SAVED OR NOT SAVED YOUR FILE IN PROGRESS IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY SAVE THE FILE IN PROGRESS AND ASK YOU IF YOU TO RESUME YOUR MOST RECENT FILE IN PROGRESS SO EITHER WAY YOU HAVE IT MADE. TRUST ME THIS TECHNIQUE WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

As a Leica user I am very commited to the excellence of the film cameras and am skeptical of the digital wannabees. I was impressed by the Leica name on the lens and the feature list on the Panasonic brand - at a price about half the similar Leica branded camera. The size and capability of this camera compares quite favorably to the original Leica concept- a camera much smaller than the competition which yielded excellent photos. There are better cameras, but they are a lot bigger and harder to live with.  So the FX9 fits this bill - the pictures are very good, with lots of ability to experiment with settings and color interpretations.  I wish it had an optical viewfinder, but the LCD is quite usable in bright light, as well as over your head in a crowd. I doubt that the lens quality is as good as a summicron, but it is very sharp and will yield a good 11x14 print. The shutter lag is minimal so long as you pre-focus, start up is OK at around 2 seconds - not as fast as my D70 which is instantaneous and better than any film camera, but fast enough for a point and shoot.  So, as a tiny modern digital camera it is  very satisfactory and includes image stabilization which allows me to shoot handheld at 1/2 second and to have 3 frames a second for action photos, as well as good 30fps video clips. Which I never could dream of with the film camera. The video clips are interesting because they include audio and are quite sharp - much better than any Super-8mm film I ever shot years ago. I give this 4 stars only because it lacks a powerful flash and viewfinder - but then it would be a lot bigger and heavier, so maybe it is a 5 star?

Works great.  I use for still photography, but I understand it will work with motion photography as well.

My film negatives have been kept at our drawers for more than 10 years.

When this scanner was offered during a lightning sale, I immediately grabbed one.

The unit is pretty straightforward, you place the film negatives inside the included film holder and slide it on the scanner.

Being a 22 MP resolution scanner, the output quality is great.

The one thing I noticed is that the output file is yellowish in color no matter what settings I use. I don't know if that has to do with the film in general or within the unit itself.
So it takes a lot of effort to edit the white balance of the output photo since you have to edit it one by one, especially we're talking about thousand of photos.

Overall, this scanner works as advertised and it gives the owner one thing:
the joy of seeing your old self, no matter if it'a a clear or dark photo :)

I use this stacked with my variable ND filter when I need it a bit darker in a range where my variable tends to get a bit noisy and IQ becomes a concern. This covers that range nicely getting my image dark enough for day light long exposures. This does not get dark enough to use for daytime long exposure photography by itself if that's what your using it for.

As a graphic designer with a soft spot for period illustration, I love to collect the Dover books that feature Victorian and old-time copyright free images. I used a number of the images in this book, but since some were part of a larger scene and/or somewhat muddy in quality, they all needed a bit of digital touchup. I realize that the images are vintage, but it's hard to use them when the lines run together and some small details are little more than blobs. The large size of most images reflects their original use as multiple-vignette posters, but again this makes it difficult to isolate a single image from the larger overall scene. To conclude on a high note, it is a valuable collection of antique circus images and I do enjoy having it in my library. My client is also pleased with the amusing images I was able to glean for his website....

This is one of a number of filters I picked up for a friend who wanted experiment with filters, but at a minimal outlay.
The Citiwide is has a standard frame it's not low profile but that's not likely to cause problems except with lenses than are wider angle or have some natural fall off/darkening it is correctable to a degree in post processing.

Onto the filter this is firmly in the "bargain basement" area and as such there are some compromises firstly the main element isn't glass it's a composite plastic/acrylic material this isn't a massive problem but do take a bit more care with handling it's not overly prone to markings but sharp objects and damage it. Being an ND 8 filter we have a total of 3 stops light reduction, this is a fairly common ND filter the other being an ND16 and ND32 (which have 4 and 5 stops light reduction) you can go all the way down to 13-16 stops light reduction but these are generally used for daylight shooting where very long shutter speeds are required.

A few uses with this filter one possibly not as obvious as it should be, if you are using a camera (or flash ) that can't sync a flash at high speeds (ie say 1/200 sec max sync) then this is a very handy filter to have as it will allows you to "bring down" the daylight shutter speed and possibly into the flash sync range you might have to adjust the aperture a little but fill flash in daylight should be possible (stick to the lowest ISO value) the other use is for slower shutter speeds to enhance movement such as water flowing or people walking etc. Viewfinder will be a bit dimmer but not massively so, and AF will work without issues bar ultra low light levels. It's not a filter you will use all the time, but it's worth having a few around. I didn't notice any optical degrading whilst testing the filter, though there is a bit of a colour cast present (not unusual only the more expensive ND filters avoid this) considering the very meagre outlay there isn't a lot to complain about. A reasonable choice if you're on a very slim budget.

Hi. I had some troubles in advance. But this problems are not related with the design. Probably for a professional work it's necesary more functions, but for can see dozen and dozen of old pictures in negative film, impossible to see, is an good alternative. I used the PICS2SD with more on less 800 pictures and serve me very good.
I think is very good for B&W., film. I like so much for slides and for scanner phtos in paper. I don't like to much for scanner negatives film color like Kodacolor.  I think is not a good notice about is not possible to scanner 120 and film in 4X5 and 10X12.5 inches. I hope to hav this in the future.
Thanks

I have 3 vintage Polaroid land cameras from the early 70s and 80s, one which was passed down to me from my grandfather and the other 2 that my father had picked up at a garage sale. I was unsuccessful with having the film work in my grandfather's sx-70 camera but I did get the sx-70 film to work in a camera that required 500 film? I got 2 mediocre shots out of the camera and then after that it just started shooting blanks and not exposing the polaroid anymore so I am thinking that the camera finally died out or something. It was fun to mess around with but definitely not worth the $30 for only 8 exposures, especially with no guarantee that the cameras would even work. I would say, if you can afford this hobby and your camera is still in well condition or you bought a refurbished/newer generic model, then yes, I would recommend this film.

I am an amateur photographer and a professional film editor. All my life I edited movies with professional photographers and I know what is a good picture. I bought this camera more for video film that the photography. Maybe there are better cameras than this but for the price and with prime lenses of the decade of the '70s I have the Last results I expected. Everything works great and shipping was perfect. The only thing I find is that the carrying bag is very small. For the rest I give it 5 stars.

Nice and quiet when used for video work. It's also super light, so carrying it all day isn't a problem. Image quality is good when used to take photos.

I use this to review images that I shot on my DSR with clients using the HDMI connection. The image is bright and clear and is a lot easier to look at than the view screen on the back of the camera. The only issue I had was that the feet of the base are wafer thin and doesn't offer much support. I made a small wood base and attached the base to it. Works great.

I know this is an old camera and I'm just getting around to reviewing it.  So I won't waste too much time with heavy detail.

If you're a hobbyist photographer, this is a great DSLR.  Aside from the Canon vs Nikon control layout and other philosophical differences, there's no reason to complain.

If you're like many people, who see video as a big selling point of modern DSLRs, skip this one and get a newer model.  The only way you can do video on this is if the camera and target are stationary.  No real auto-focus on video.  Works for what I'm doing, but probably won't for many.

Film works but colors are not that bright. Pics are on the dark side but you can still make out the image.

I have purchased this card several time and find it works great for both still photos as well as video.  At this price I have started to a policy to save the cards just like negatives for film were stored.  Too often I can't remember what hard drive the images are on, or a drive/computer fails and they are lost.  Some may chose to pay extra each year to store off-site on the internet, but I purchased white ink pens that I use to write the date used on the back and storage boxes to save them in. Then, if I want an image, I can look for it based on the date of the disk.  You can also then store these off site in a secure site from your home (i.e. other family member, extra internet storage site, safety deposit box) as insurance that your images are still there if your house goes up in flames. At this price, it is worth it.

This is not a professional HiDef camera but does deliver good results in the AACH format that look good on a hi def t.v. screen.  The best part about this camera is its' size - small and light and very portable.  I'm pleased with the Canon quality and proven reliability.

I shoot weddings and while this is not one of my main cameras for shooting inside the church, it still does provide remarkable images in low lighting.  I use this camera as a stationary camera behind the minister to shoot the bride and groom's faces.  It has been very useful for taking outside and shooting the bridal party.  Great images and great low light resolution.
