Ok, sitting here watching the remake "Battlestar Gallactica" first season marathon, it dawned on me this question. I don't ask why about how I get these questions kicking inside my head, I just ask.
Here it goes.
If I have two digital cameras, both Canon, both with digital recepticals. If I had some sort of router that connected to both cameras,in theory, wouldn't it be possible to capture two seperate images onto one frame. 2 fer 1 sort to say.
Looking forward to responces.
Thanks in advance.

| Nope, I think you would have 2 distinct images OR if you route to 1 receptical, you would have 2 merged into 1 but keep in mind they have 2 perspectives so the image would still be flawed. |

My sentiments exactly. What kind of "digital recepticals"?
Trying to make 3-D images, or double exposures?
Battlestar Gallactica? Sounds like someone's on vacation. |

Are you talking about something like multi-frame exposure. The high-end Canons have this built-in. You can take several shots and it merges them into a single image.
Of course you can always do the same in Photoshop with a lot more control.
Having said that... Perhaps you've watched too much Battlestar Gallactica for today? :-) |

BSG is arguably the best show on television. And I hate television.
Edit to say this is an alfrescoglowingendorsement of BSG - I would get TV just to watch this show.
To stay on topic:
I second the "huh?"

| with two sensors you can possibly create a 3-D image by projecting them properly on the same screen |

How do the high end canons do the multi frame exposure?
Photoshop doesn't always work within the challenge rules.
Yes, creating two seperate images combined via some outside controller.
Why not do it, there could be possabilities available. Especially if shooting in raw to help control exposure values. Creating something unique.

oooh oooh, if you can hook two camera toghether, why not three or more.
Would 3d be taken to a higher level?
Would the image be black?
Will the Cylons pop a cap in the rag tag caravan of humans?

Very cool idea.... You could get 3d looking images. The two cameras would be like your two eyeballs which give you 3d vision. :)
I like it. You'd need sophistacted software to merge the images however. I bet there's software to do it though.

| I dont know much about camras besides how to take the picture and focuse it and stuff, But what I think you can get 2 pictures in one..... But thats just what I think you should try it one day. |

Not interested in 3d cameras.
But what if you wanted to take a picture of a girl in one camera, and a tree in another camera, using two differant lenses, or the same lens, or differant filters.
I know PS can do this, but I am just curious to know if this technique is at all possible. The use digital video cameras in telivised news, and are able to do wipes, fades, overlays and such between cameras using a production board.
Just a query.

If you consider it with hardware point of view, once you expose a shot, it stores the charge based on the amount of light exposed at each pixel. If you create multiple shots on the same image without any kind of averaging filter or algorithms, it will just add to the present charge and if the light is not controlled will lead to overexposure or the effect similar to leaving the shutter open for two long.
But a hardware averaging filter can quite easily be implemented which would let you capture the same frame twice or any number of time and let you play with parameters like focus in between shots. I know its possible theoratically, I don't know if anyone has implemented it or is working on such a thing. Its quite possible no one is, since it can be done at the software level.
Although I believe doing it at the hardware level opens up a great window to capture the light! |

Would that be like a stereo camera/lense???

No way man. Cylons are gonna start to fall apart because of the humans infectious emotions. Then Boomers child will be born and lead both races to earth and then we a screwed. You saw it here first!

| Think about it another way besides 3-D or algorithmic parameter applications, wouldn't you be able to substantially decrease the amount of pixelation by adjusting the second lens just enough to fill it in, thus doubling the actual pixels you currently have available......OK, Now that just sounded to "nurdish" |

I think you should try this. Just disassemble both cameras, and wire the sensors in parallel. Patch in a flux capacitor and you're in business.
Just be sure this is during hour 14 of the marathon, at 2:00 AM when you are nice and relaxed. Alcohol can only help, too! |

I *think* brother Johnson wants to mnake DOC-legal multiple images. I *think* he's aware that some of the P&S cameras actually allow you to do this, record two separate images on a single "frame" as if it were the film days all over again. I *think* he's bemoaning that dSLRs won't let you do this (no reason for it, as PS does it so well) so he can't realize the choicest of his visions in our challenges, and I *think* his fevered brain is seeking a workaround :-)

| I think he may be working on the digital stereoscope. |
