#IP 5.0
John:
I have a XapShot model RC250 (the consumer field only model) and I've used
it to digitize stuff into my computer using an Impulse VD-1. The Xapshot's
image isn't a full NTSC image, and unless I run the output of the camera
thru a TBC before going to the digitizer I can't bring the image into the
Firecracker24. The Camera is really nice, and I use it quite a bit. It's
nice having 50 shots per "roll of film" and being able to erase them
anytime I want. You might want to look into getting a used VD-1, as there
is a program to convert it's raw format directly into the FC24 (both are
(or were) Impulse products) where you can then save as 24bit IFF rather
nicely. There's even talk at Impulse of adding support for the VD-1 into
Light24, along with the Epson EC300 scanner as well.
