Default Digital projectors? bit OT



"Charlie Pridham" wrote in message
T...
I do talks for garden clubs but my slide projector is starting to show
its age and will need replacing. I was thinking that I ought to consider
changing over to a digital projector but there seem to be several types.
I seldom project onto a bigger than 4'X4' screen.
Also digital images, what's the sort of file size that's required for
reasonable quality? and will scanning my existing slides give good enough
quality? (I have 2000+ slides and the thought of having to retake them
all is a bit daunting!)
I would be grateful for any hints, tips or comments from people who have
changed over.

Charlie I wanted one in 2006 for talks and shows and my computer shop did a
search and came up with the 'InFocus' IN20 Series. I am very pleased with
it.

www.infocus.com will no doubt give you more info and at least a place to
start.

When I do talks on the Cruise Ships I use their equipment, but in doing
talks in Hotels etc, (I have just offered my services to the Local Parish
Council) it is very portable.

My screen is the portable 4' x 4' as well :-))

(Just about to get a new Camera so I can increase my scope as required.
Samsung GX-10. Hope to be able to plug it straight into the projector, but
that is not important)

Hope that helps

Mike
