All images were taken from the same frame of a Digital 8 tape made with the
Sony TRV720 camcorder mounted with a OpticZoom 5X telephoto lens.
The subject, a great blue heron, was fishing in a pond
about 100 feet away from the camera.
An unadjusted image captured by each of the three devices was saved as a jpg file.
Each image was adjusted for contrast and sharpnes using the internal controls of each capture device
and saved as a jpg file.
Results:
Table 1.
(Each image is linked to the original.)
No Adjustment
Adjusted Image
Snappy Deluxe 3.0
Memory Stick
Firewire
CONCLUSION: The images captured by the memory stick and adjusted in
Picture Gear software appear sharper; a quality that I was looking for.
