Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Engineers don't want to do it that way!

They would much rather make you buy a new digital camera every 6 months. Yes, what you describe could be done but it's against marketing and the code of greed now in power. If TI can make a 6 x 6 cm CCD for the space telescope then why can't they make one for pro photographers. CCDs have to be cooled and kept at a cold temp for good results and syncing it to your existing mechanical shutter system is a route that electronic engineers don't want to venture down. They would much rather make it 1000 times more complicated. Don't put a lot of money in a digital camera! They are obsoleteing them at an alarming pace. Almost as bad as obsoleteing people.

"I take you as you are
And make of you what I will,
Skunk-bear, carcajou, bloodthirsty
Non-survivor.
Lord, let me die but not die out." THE LAST WOLVERINE by James Dickey
