Version Differences
For hobbyists, Eclipse SD is best for you as the maximum resolution 800 by 600 and can be used with web cams or by importing images from a directory from a still cam.
If you're more advanced and need to create films in unlimited resolution using a DSLR camera, the full version of Eclipse is best for you.
For schools and studios, the 10 packs or unlimited network options are best.
