<p>I would think that Film Cameras will be pretty good. But they are obselete and have passed thier time. I still enjoy them but for the need to process the pics.</p><p>Digital camcorders like the sony I have take very poor pictures:</p><p> <a href="http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/7903/lpgtankcarsez4.jpg">http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/7903/lpgtankcarsez4.jpg</a></p><p>I dont think for one minute that image is worthy of any contest. At least the layout deck is reasonably clean, structures are visually acceptable and the rolling stock passable. No photo shop, no nothing.. just a USB cable and transfer from the camera memory to the computer desktop.</p><p>If I wanted to, I could shoot this with the DV tape and then run my roxio processing software and capture a screenshot and post a slightly better image. We know more without the fuzzies and such.</p><p>Now if I actually own a 5 megapixel camera that does optical picture taking without too much lighting problems we will learn about the seam between the two roof peices now wouldnt we?</p><p>Anything bigger defeats the purpose. I can see myself hoisting a 200 megapixel 5000 dollar wonder and subsequently be buried in PM's saying OMG! That GLUESPOT UNDER THE CANOPY IS SO YUCKY!</p><p>Sorry folks, no contests for me. I take images because I like to. Take it or leave it.</p><p>By the way that is the new Manufactoring complex that I am working on. Sometime by summer of 2008 it should be finished and ready for scenery and quite the switching. Ive got about 5 structures more to build and they all will be installed along the backwall to the right for about 8 more feet. The mainline will go into the front part of the table winding around other industries as necessary.</p>
