It is......;-)
(See: www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/camcorder-comparison.htm)
What would be useful: a set of unaltered frame-grabs
(***not*** memory-stick or on-tape stills) from
motion-video footage shot in a variety of locations
(nature, with foliage and some sky showing, people,
interiors with book/record/CD/video shelves, etc.) and
lighting levels/types (sunlight, overcast light, bright
interior, dim interior) with fine detail most everywhere,
especially near the corners (no blank-wall shots...;-),
grabbed using a video editor and saved the otherwise
unaltered frames as jpg files at 720x480 (NTSC) and
around 150kb. Shoot using all auto controls. Place them
on individual web pages with a simple entry page with a
set of links...
Not **too** hard, but **very** useful...;-)
