different resolution cameras
« on: July 23, 2012, 02:11:47 PM »
Hi, new here, and really excited about this program.
I'm trying to get some decent results with scanning persons,
and have some questions i didn"t find the answer for.

At the moment we are using 15 camera's, resolutions ranging from 6 to 16mp.
Obviously we are working here on a budget, and results are ok, altough we
would get some higher resolution results.

Is it usefull to buy some extra cameras with higher resolution,
and add them to the mix including the lower resolution cameras, or does the program
calculates on the lowest resolution?

It would certainly help. I've worked on rigs with Canons mixed as 50D, 450D, 550D, 7D and MKII Cameras all playing together. The 450D's are very buggy though and crash the control software allot. The more resolution and coverage the better, the trick is clean, crisp and sharp images. Good lighting.

I have another question someone might be able to answer.
When using different cameras, it it a good idea to use the low mp cameras on the back of the person (thats where we need the least detail), or is it better to mix them, and distribute all different resolutions around the subject?
