[OM] When digital is no good...

A while back I commented that there was no way adequately of projecting
digital images, and that even the best projectors "downgraded" digital
cameras from their native 5/8/whatever MP to less than 1MP.

My comments that that was unacceptable was poo-poo'd on the basis that
you wouldn't notice "at a distance". I disagreed at the time, and I
disagree now. It may not matter much with a moving image (such as
television) that the resolution is so low, but in my opinion it
certainly does matter with still images. I have slides (film slides) in
which I can see amazing detail when projected to 6' x 4', and text I can
read that I cannot read when the slide is scanned in at 4,800 dpi.

AP has done a review of some digital projectors. In short they agree
with me. (If anyone really wants the full article, I'll scan it in.)

So I reassert my point. If you want to project your images and do them
any sort of justice in the process, then digital is simply, at this
point in time, useless.

Regards,

Simon
