I got my new digital camera today
 

It does show more detail, but I think to show the 6.75mhz circle as it
really is, you'd really need to use a pro 35mm camera because I just
don't think any digital camera is good enough to do this job.
If there was rock solid detail in the 6.75mhz circle, then a digital
camera would show it, but there not rock solid detail, but it's not
mush either so only a very good 35mm camera would probably show it as
it actually is.
This new camera is a lot better than the old HP Photosmart 120 though
as these pics show.
It shows a lot better detail than the old camera.
If you look really really carefull, you can see that the 6.75mhz
circle is not total total mush and you can very very faintly makeout
some detail.
Most of these pics are over 1 meg in size and you'd probably have to
copy and paste the url because the website uses anti-hotlinking
measures.

BTW, this is what it looks like when a monitor/tv and the dvd player
source both pass the 6.75mhz test with flying colors(see the first pic
at the link)

Did I miss something? Why do you insist on testing the resolution of
your camera by taking pictures of your TV? Is that what you bought a
digital camera for?

Re: I got my new digital camera today
 

Excuse me for asking, but why test your camera by taking a shot of a
TV screen test. It seems that your TV may be part of the focus-test
problem. My D60 seems make me want better quality lens because of the
detail it shows compared to my ElanII body. I don't mean to start a
discussion of film vs digital so back to your test results. Try
shooting a high quality text image or something with crisp static
lines rather than a projected image.

If my comments are way off on what you meant... sorry

No, he's testing TVs, and wants to show the results of his TV tests.
So he photographs the visual appearance of the test pattern on the TV
screen. Unfortunately, his previous camera was *worse* than the TVs
he's trying to test.

You have to copy and paste the url into your url bar to defeat the
anti-hotlinking measures.
You copy and paste by holding the right button on your mouse and
dragging the cursor over the url till the whole url is highlighted.
After the url is highlighted, you hit control Cntrl and C to copy the
url.
Then you to to the url bar at the top of your browser, and delete
everything from your url bar so that it's empty.
Then you paste the url into the url bar by pressing Cntrl and V.
Then you just hit Enter on your keyboard and you should be able to see
the pic.
