Only if the user in the states has a closed mind, will it cost what you stated. My portable studio camera originally was worth about $14,000 a few years ago, then the cost of the camera was about $5,500… I bought a used one in mint condition for $2,900. My industrial editor originally cost me $8,995. My color splitter cost $110. All of those are in Canadian dollars, so the splitter would be under $100 U.S., the camera would have been just over 2 grand, and yes, the editor would still be out of range of most average non-professionals. BUT, there are alternatives! Even if I couldn't afford the equipment, we have, up here at least, rental facilities which are quite reasonable for hourly rental. Rental includes a full editing suite with studio cameras, etc. Mentioning the JX-600 doesn't bear any relation to digitizing from a video source, the way Digi-View does. I entered the convo, as most buyers don't just want to get the fastest digitized image from a video, but also want to get the BEST results, and I stand firm that the image processing of MY Digi-View 4.0 gets the best results over a framegrabber anyday! Smoke it and choke it if you don't like it, because it's a fact that the side by side results of a slow scan over a fast scan are far superior. As for your other arguments, you are really misguided, and I've just realized I've been wasting my font on a brick wall. Please do NOT reply, as I am sick of long-winded, two paged mail of little substance. Go ahead and mislead the newer users, but if you had an ounce of sense, you would refer them to the appropriate AMIGA VENDOR SIGs to hear the facts from the people making the equipment! Later…. MUCH later… **** Vance ****
