I have him beat by one year with working with Digital cameras. But he did not build his own.
> Similarly, not many pressure plates on digital cameras. And the point is?
How many have you taken apart? The ones that I've taken apart had pressure plates to keep the CCD at the proper distance and in the plane of focus.
All the guy is saying is that with film, you had to mentally account for more variables to get useable results. Feedback time is too long for realtime correction. With Digital, you have the CCD which provides a near-realtime feedback loop. Often, it is timely enough to allow you to make corrections. Kind of like Polaroid.
