Many convicted film pirates THOUGHT they removed all traces of CAP code from their illegal product.

I was building Big Momma's House and the depot or someone made a big to do out of reel 2 being Cap Coded. Reel # was written in big numbers, inspection label noted CapCode: 0 on label.

Sure enough, the number was printed on the edge just like the picture above. Most of the reel is dark but you will notice the white / brownish dots while watching the feature. I bet the scheme is like those binary clocks or message do-hickeys that use a row of 8 leds on a pendulum and swings back and forth to display a message. This same concept would display the reel number.

Information on all the Kodak digital still cameras is on the Kodak website:

For a discerning photographer like you, I wouldn't settle for less than one of the cameras in the PRO DCS Series, with 6 megapixel resolution. (Of course 35 mm film still has superior image quality ).

Remember, Kodak's business is PICTURES. We try to offer the best products to meet customer's imaging needs, be they FILM or DIGITAL or HYBRID.

Is the Photo CD spec of 3072 x 2048 as good as 35mm? I ask because if it's not, then why didn't Kodak make Photo CD as high res as 35mm? One of Kodak's main claims to fame on this now obsolete technology was that you could take your disc back in to the manufacturer an get perfect prints made from it, since it is basically just a digitized version of the negative turned positive.

I would settle for nothing less than 256 Terapixels! I think they sell those down at K-Mart for $199 (Kodak brand)

I still take pictures with film. If I need a digital image I just scan the print.

John, I checked my camera and it is loaded with Kodak film! (Sorry that I had to check, I'll be sure to buy only Kodak in the future). It was Gold asa 200.

Half of the fun of pictures is discovering what was on that roll of un-developed film that you found while cleaning out the car!

Scott:
It seems everyone still loves the look of Kodachrome film. Pretty good for a product that has been on the market for 65 years! Of course, it's been improved many times since 1935.

Russ:
What you are doing is very common practice. The "HYBRID" practice of shooting on film, and then transferring the images to digital is very common. That way you're not having to invest in the fast-changing technology of a digital camera, yet have the ability to use the images digitally.

We've all seen the stickers with the title, bar code, print number (um, yeah right), date/time of printing and so forth on them courtesy of Deluxe Hollywood as pictured below.

However, I noticed a little something odd on my second print of The Patriot. Check it out.

Yes folks, the first print had the annoying little CAP code marks on it...but the second one (noted by "capcode-0") did NOT!

What's up with that? Is this a courtesy toward bootleggers from Deluxe? I'm not getting the point here, but I find it awful funny.

But what if we didn't switch? We could have been bootlegging film all night and giving out free copies to everybody on the planet, and the UA theater would have gotten blamed.

CAP Code rocks!
