First of all i would just like to say hi there, as this is my first post on this forum
For the past 10 years i have been producing QTVR movies and 3D animations. For the QTVR stuff i use my lovely 5D with a Nikon 10.5mm lens using an adapter plate. But my client is after some completely different.
He has asked for a Matrix style photo shoot. I have no problem taking the images, setting the cameras up, or even the post processing and exporting it as a Flash movie. But do have trouble in finding the right cameras within the budget.
I need the cameras to have
Only problem is i found only one review on the net, and it said that it can take up to 3 secs to take a photo. Well for this job, it needs to be perfect and take the image exactly when i want it to.
I plan on buying between 30 and 50 of these (depending on costs), and if they all take at slightly different times, then the illusion will be lost.
Has any body any other suggestions of cameras, the cheaper they are, the more i can get to make the movie smoother.
Many thanks
Ian

I need the cameras to have
- Manual exposure/shutter speed
- Manual white balance
- Remote shutter release (prefer IR remote)
- Tripod thread hole in the bottom of it
- Take the image as fast as possible from when press it to go.
- Not bothered if it is compact or DSLR, as long as it works.
- Maximum image is for screen resolution, so almost any Mega pixel size will do, it will prob be heavily photoshoped anway.
