adrian_stone1 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 <p>I would be very grateful for any advice regarding my planned purchase.<br> I need a digital projector to present photographic lectures to camera clubs with an attendance of up to 50 people per night. The room will be dark. I can determine the projector's distance from the screen, which will be 7 feet square maximum. I believe lots of lumens are important . I've heard that multimedia projectors are too contrasty, better to go for a home theatre projector. It needs to be portable (size and weight is an issue). It needs to be switchable to UK power supply, 240v and 50 hertz. I believe high resolution is a real benefit. I've also had Canon recommended. I can spend up to US$900.00. Any recommendations?<br> Adrian</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_momary Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 <p>One sidenote - although very durable, scope out the cost for a replacement lamp. You should put a pillow on the ground before you do, so it'll hurt less when you keel over.<br> Jim</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
