The iSight's overall picture quality was noticeably better than that of the other cameras. It almost always provided a sharp, crisply defined image and did the best job with movement and backlighting. The Pyro slightly edged out the iBot in image quality, but the two were closely matched. The Fire-i had the lowest overall picture quality, but it made up for this in other areas. By Matthew Honan (Macworld via MyAppleMenu)

Win XP SP2 "turns Firewire 800 into
Firewire 100" 08/12/2004 02:38 PM
The moderator of the RME forum has warned that installing Windows XP SP2 can lead to the bus speed being limited to 100Mbit/s. Matthias Carstens posted the message on the RME forum yesterday, but says it's not a problem particular to RME products. He said: "It affects any Firewire 800 device. If you have a FW800 PCI card and an FW 800 hard disk, go see the bits come one by one through the Firewire cable".

RME, he said, was aware of the problem for some time, but "didn't really imagine that Microsoft would have the guts to try to bury an existing standard. We just downloaded the final public version and it is simply unbelievable". He said that some companies are trying to sell Firewire 800 drivers so everything will be hunky-dory. But, he said, these drivers probably won't work correctly with a Fireface 800.

Wow, I didn't even know this would be possible (although I'm far from a cable signaling expert) -- Japanese peripheral manufacturer Pixela has released a new FireWire to USB 2.0 cable that allows raw DV (and maybe anything else?) to be transferred from the FireWire port on video cameras to PCs that only have USB (or are using the USB for something else). Plus, if you have Service Pack 2 for Windows XP -- not yet released, mind you -- you'll be able to transfer data back to the video camera, as well. The bridge cable is designated the PIX-UVCD/U1W (or 'Sparky') and will ship in July for around $85.
