RE: Eclair Cameras: The Future!

[Michael Welle <mwelle@starband.net>]

Mark: Hi Michael --- Absolutely agreed that everything will eventually 
be digital 
... but I'll bet that nothing will cost less because of it.

But doesn't it serve to reason that the new Panasonic camcorder which 
records 24P is only 3 or 4 grand, and twenty years ago an Eclair ACL 
cost 16 grand and inflation was less.  I know that 24P probably doesn't 
look quite as good as the film shot with a 16mm camera (yet).  But if 
that Panasonic camera is any indication, I would hypothesize that the 
cost of video equipment which can equal the quality of film will 
eventually drop to extremely affordable levels.  It's only a matter of 
years, I think before film cameras will be gathering mothballs because 
video will be able to reproduce the quality instantaneously.  However, a 
lot of that depends on the economy, the 2004 election, and the butterfly 
flapping its wings halfway across the world;)
