    HD that seems popular in Europe is 1080/50i. This means 25 interlaced frames per second, just like PAL, but at a much higher resolution of 1920×1080. I read this some where on the net…..Can some one tell me the resolution of 1920-1080 from a camera that shoots 1080/720 50 pal or 60 ntsc is this correct? I’m thinking of purchasing the new Panosonic AG-HVX200 .What I want to know is, can I get a 1920×1080 resolution picture out of this camera, or any other camera that shoots 1080/50i or 60 ntst.

    Thanks
    Martin

    1920×1080 is the broadcast picture resolution. However, 1920×1080 is not the *recorded* resolution. No camera records 1920×1080, not even the $100,000 CineAlta records 1920×1080. They always record a subsampled image. You have to get up into HDCAM-SR territory before you get to record the full 1920×1080.

    The HVX, the FX1, and the Canon XL H1 all record images that are compatible with 1920×1080 displays. They subsample the resolution, but the final image is compatible with a 1920×1080 television.
