Talk:Questions and Answers

Hello... I am interested in using the 363 camera board(s) for a project that would allow people to convert their old still film-based cameras to digital use (digital still camera, NOT motion). And before anyone points out the obvious, yes, I know that you can buy a full frame digital camera for probably less than this project would allow someone to convert an old Nikon F or a Canon AE or Leica M series to digital usage. But, it needs to be done and since no one else has picked up the baton, I guess I must be the one. There is a treasure trove of old lenses and cameras out there that are going to waste and a large portion of photographers who don't care about auto-focus, LCD review and other bells and whistles that are available whether you want them or not.

What I am initially looking for is someone who is very familiar with the circuitry of the 363 camera. It would help me a lot to be able to ask a number of questions on how to simplify the circuit easily. Much of the features of the 363 will not be needed and I want to find out what needs to be "tied to ground" or can be left dangling or open on the circuit and not be used.

Anyone? thanks George Chicago
