Kodak DC50 now usable on the Apple II
- userbinator 2mo agoThe DC50’s resolution is a weird-ass 756×504 pixels Most image sensors have a few extra rows and columns beyond their nominal resolution; this looks like such an extension of the common 720x480.
- bradfa 2mo ago1996 was also the launch of APS-C which had the same ratio. Curious if Kodak just reused existing hardware for the camera so matched that with the sensor?
- to11mtm 2mo agoI think that's a different question; i.e. the ratios of 756x504 and 720x480 are both 1.5:1 (or, as we say in the camera world) IMO the most likely factor for camera makers (and/or sensor suppliers[0]) is 'how much resolution can one pack into a sensor for marketing purposes while keeping yield margin in check for profit'. Megapixels instead of Megahertz... [0] - Maybe different back then but the current state is that even the 'big names' will get their sensors from 'competing' camera makers...

- ColdStream 2mo agoI was going to say. It is also very close to CRT TV resolutions (or whatever you would call it).
- drmpeg 2mo agoI still have my DC280. 1760x1168. Here's a sample (from the Jaques Littlefield tank collection). https://www.w6rz.net/DCP_1004.JPG https://www.w6rz.net/DCP_1004.JPG
