Check the about my lighting page to understand the tests.


This is an old camera, apparently from 2005 which is no longer in production but may be available in a few places on the Internet. I am including it because a lot of people have asked. For its time this was apparently a pretty good camera. It performed well in the night lighting tests but was a bit over exposed with daylight tests.

It has a lot of difficulty adjusting on its own as the sun comes up. Usually by mid morning it was producing a pure white frame and it took a reboot of the computer to bring it back to normal.

The image is fairly sharp compared to other brands of the same period but doesn't come up to the newer cameras available as this posting. I like the stand, but then red is one of my favorite colors.
