As to screen photography. I've got Canon 30D and 7D cameras. Using either
its trivial to get good photos of B&W sets. I just use full manual exposure, 1/15 to 1/4 second, (below 1/15 only using static pictures) f/5.6 or smaller, and adjust the ISO to get the correct exposure.

Color is much harder of course. This is because of the moire problem with the Bayer filter on the camera. I either need to fully resolve every dot or stripe, having it
cover at least 4 pixels, or not resolve them at all, setting the camera out of focus
to do the blurring. I'm still learning how to do this. I've tried making panorama
shots using 4 shots per screen with the 7D to get 70 megapixels and it
works nicely but is lots of work and requires lots of Photoshopping.

A Fuji camera with the strange sensor would be interesting to test ... it might be a panacea.
