[comp.sys.amiga.graphics] any thoughts on film recorders for the Amiga?

I want to buy a film recorder for my Amiga to record both graphics
and full color images (say off a Toaster or similar device).  Does
anyone have any experience they wish to share?  What are your thoughts
of analog versus digital?  (For those new to film recorders, analog
ones take the analog signal going to the monitor and use it to drive
an internal display.  What you see is what you get.  Digital recorders
connect to a digital port (serial, parallel, or scsi) and download
digital data to the recorder.  Generally speaking, digital recorders
are slow because they must create high resolution bitmaps of the image
and transmit these bitmaps.  You can get very good looking images, but
you are also at the mercy of your software.)

Thanks,
