Three considerations....
1. "unprecendented resolution". That's already been shown to be "over the top".
2. " ability to correct keystoning". Not needed if you capture direct from the gate (i.e on the optical axis), an obvious method for the best quality. See Videofred, and others.
3. "colour correction opportunities". Most machine vision camera software can adjust this at capture, and many post capture processing software packages and plug-ins can also do this on many formats. See also Videofred, and others.

You seem to be fixated on HAVING to use your Digital SLR, (and a possibly expensive projector) and a screen, when other much simpler and economical solutions are available and well proven.

Still, it's your money!!!

Granfer and others, all I can say is to each his own. If Mike want's to try something different(?), so be it. He may come up with something useful to him, or he may find out it was a total waste of time and money. Though it would be in Mike's best interest to do a little research both here and other places on the web as a lot of the legwork has already been done on this subject.

Then again, it is Mike's time and money (which eventually equates to the same anyway - $$$$).

Just my rumblings,

Absolutely, more power to him. I wish him good luck on his project.

Personally I believe he will find out that it is a waste of both time and money, but who are we to judge that?

He might be a multibillionaire with all the time in the world for this fun project. Then it won´t be a waste, just a way to spend all that sparetime and piles of money. :mrgreen:
