<p>I do have a 4k Monitor, several actually. However I am mainly interested in<br>
the extra resolution for print quality. Also before someone asks, yes my PC<br>
that runs my photo booth is more than capable of processing 4k images<br>
quickly. Thank you for the fast response, I hope that 4k support is added<br>
soon.</p>

who say that DSLR is the answer...<br>
The largest prints will only be a 4X6 and most of the photos<br>
are reduced down to fit on a 2X6 strip @ 2" wide.<br>
Here are a few photo samples from my events<br>
and the quality is great and my clients love them.</p>
<p>Can you tell me if these were done with a webcam or DSLR?</p>
<p>I figure this is a PHOTO BOOTH and not a photographers studio<br>
and as long as I have good lighting, a backdrop curtain that is<br>
the right color and proper camera set up, my photos will always be<br>
of high enough quality for what is expected in a photo booth.</p>
<p>My 2¢ on this</p>

This is where I don't think the Brio @ 4K would make much of a difference over the C922.<br>
That being said...It would be fun to play with high res (if it didn't cripple the processor)</p></div>Rob (ZCZ)tag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/448025092018-02-27T15:37:25Z2018-02-27T15:37:26Z4k Logitech Brio<div><p>I'm with Rob on this one. The extra resolution is just a nice bonus to have<br>
and play with. I currently have DSLR booth installed and it can be set to<br>
save every individual picture in addition to the composite. I have had<br>
several events where providing the original full res images was a home run<br>
for the client. I have 2 large LED octoboxes that I use and I have found<br>
that ample soft lighting brings the quality on the webcams WAY up and the<br>
motion blur way way down.</p>
<p>I had the opportunity a while ago to take stills with a c920, c922, and a<br>
brio with my setup using non photo booth software that supported 4K. The<br>
922 does indeed take nice pictures, but the added resolution of 4K was very<br>
desirable. You never know when some may want to order a nice big print of a<br>
photo booth image. I have also run the booth with a cannon 40d, of course a<br>
DSLR will always win the quality race. But the added complication of the<br>
setup, and the shorter life span with a mechanical shutter was a big<br>
detractor.</p>

<p><strong>BINGO</strong> that is my #1 reason for not using a DSLR<br>
camera and as long as I can get Great Quality (IMO)<br>
photo booth style prints that my clients love,<br>
why spend $600+ on a DSLR camera that is not<br>
designed to be on with LIVE VIEW for more than<br>
15-20 minutes and will either shut down or fry<br>
the video board within the camera.</p>
<p>I have always said <strong><em>"This is a photo booth and not a photo studio"</em></strong><br>
The guest/users are there to have fun and get a decent photo strip<br>
to take home and even when they move too fast and get motion blur,<br>
they laugh and the next time they use the booth, they move fast<br>
just to get another funny blurry photo to laugh at.</p>
<p>I have 1,000's of examples in my Gallery<br>
<a href="http://www.A1PhotoBooth.com/gallery">www.A1PhotoBooth.com/gallery</a><br>
and we provide our client a disk with<br>
EVERY photo and strip at the end of the event.</p>
<p>I am not saying everyone should do what we do<br>
...do what works best for you and your clients.<br>
If you are in a market that pushes DSLR/4K<br>
and can not show samples of high enough quality<br>
with the equipment you are using, then you need to<br>
find better equipment that can do the job for your clients.</p>
<p>YES I have had a Couple (2) sessions where a guest<br>
was not happy with their photo and I could only say ...<br>
<strong><em>"SORRY but you are a very dark skinned person and<br>
making your face clearer will alter the quality of the<br>
others you are taking the photo with... but we can<br>
do another session and you will see the difference..."</em></strong><br>
[see samples as this was done]</p>
<p>Guess what photo they liked the best...</p></div>Joe Connelltag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/448025092018-02-27T16:20:14Z2018-02-27T16:20:14Z4k Logitech Brio<div><p>ME TOO Rob... !!!!</p></div>Joe Connell
