Title: Shooting digital with a copystand
Post by: Richowens on August 01, 2005, 08:14:01 pm

Hello Francois,
Below is a link of a fellow doing copy work using an E20 and using a monitor to focus with. Don't know if it will help, just a thought.

Hello,

I would like to replace an old analog video camera capture system (on a Mac) with a digital camera. Does anyone know of any high quality (5 mega pix +) digital cameras that would allow me to view the image in the cameras viewfinder on an external video monitor? I'd like to be able to mount the digital camera onto an existing Bencher M3 copystand I have, but still be able to focus on and light my subject. I've been told the Fuji s20 has a live video view. I'd like to know if other models exist as well.

Regards,

Francios

Thanks for the response Rich. I've looked at the site you provided the link for and bookmarked it.
