maybe i'm being a n00b, but I can't find any sample pics. Surely they must have a sample pic?

I will take 2 please.

These don't look like a problem if you are left handed!

what is this fetish people have with wanting a LCD to compose with. Besides. It does have a LCD. But try holding something that large steady while your looking at an lcd. holding it flush with your body via a viewfinder is a far better way.

It's got a 640x480 digital screen on the back - touchscreen I believe as well.

It's also digital - gigapxl uses film and then they scan it.

Not a proper camera, it should be SLR (viewfinder is through the lens)

Errrmmm, just how exactly is he going to press the shutter release?, I presume that is it with the red button at the front.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 22 Sep 2006 at 00:14

Its not something you'd walk about with. Its for tripod use I would imagine. Plus it looks like its on a retractable cord.

That looks like it comes from the Dom Jolly school of design..

Would the quality be good enough for A4 or would you need a higher resolution? :confused:

I'd love to see the batteries in that thing. Wonder if it takes AA's?

lol what u dont see in the pic is the guy holding a car battery with a cable going to the camera

The attached storage drive is something id love to see in the next Canon 1series, making use of USB or Firewire ports, not having to worry about storage, streaming the RAW photos straight onto a 120gb+ HD is something im very envious of my mates XL2 for, he has an 80gb firestore which saves a lot of tape changing.

I thought that picture was brilliant.

Read about this on Engadget last week. Scrolled down past two photos, everything looking pretty normal, then I see that! :eek:
