BB or BBPro that is the question?

[Box Brownie]

Hi All

I have yet to install/trial either of the above but what I was looking for is a comparison list of the two products to help me decide what would make the best choice based on my perceived needs combined with DLPro usage.

I am sorry if I have missed such a list on the website but I can not see one.

Many thanks in advance of your feedback.

:)

PS I am looking into buying the new Canon 350D - any thoughts when that will be covered by BB or BBPro & DLPro ?

Sorry the last few months have been very busy and I haven't had time to add a comparison of BB and BBPro.

I plan to add raw conversion support in both BB and BBPro. It's too early to say when this will be added as I may need to wait for Canon to update their SDK. I will be getting a 350D next week and should know more then.

Hi Chris

Many thanks for getting back to me.

OK, I understand about time pressures lol!

But my dilemma is that just when I thought I was ready to get BB the BBPro appeared.

I feel that I am not the only potential user/buyer facing such as issue & without a clear comparison 'chart' I am left sitting on the fence as I do not wish to trial both, I prefer to make my decision based on the spec then test it and buy it if meets my needs.

Ref: The 350D I look forward to any feedback etc soon.

I dug back and found Chris' original announcement of BB Pro:

------------
I'm pleased to announce the release of a new product: BreezeBrowser Pro

BreezeBrowser Pro does everything BreezeBrowser does plus:

1) New image comparison window to compare up to four images on screen at the same time. Images can be zoomed and panned together and tagged for future reference

2) Faster image display in main view, filmstrip view and slideshow. Images are cached to make it much faster to step backwards and forwards through your shots and the next image is preloaded ready for display

3) Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II raw conversion

4) New improved combined raw conversion for Canon EOS cameras including the EOS-1D series

5) Contact sheets can be printed to file and saved as JPEG, TIFF or PNG images so that they can be printed by your photo lab

6) Updated, searchable help files

7) Dialogs updated to use Windows XP controls and toolbar icons redesigned

8) Priority email support for BreezeBrowser Pro customers
