Thanks Bill! QuickTime is no problem.
Do you have any specifics of that demonstration? shutter speed, etc? And
do you mind if I post it to another forum where there is some ridiculous
debate going on with respect to this topic?
I hate seeing stupidity and misinformation promulgated as fact.
thanks again!
I believe it was shot at 1/30 second, it's hard to tell from looking . I set
a heavy Manfrotto tripod up in my living room and very carefully levelled
it. I then balanced an American nickel on the screen and used a cable
release to trip the shutter.
I dod not lock up the mirror for that little vid.
Please feel free to post it elsewhere, it's not my bandwidth. ;-)
The 6x7 is a big and noisy camera, I think people hear the noise and figure
it must be bouncy as well.
Mirror slap is generally not an issue, but the shutter is heavy enough to
cause lateral vibration if the support is too light or is prone to
harmonics.
It is not a camera for flimsy tripods.
