[Nigel Cooper] “Peter, you are being fed some wrong information here.
Why oh why do people insist that the DVCPRO100 codec is better than the MPEG2 codec; this is total rubish. For your information John, DVCPRO100 DOES NOT record at 100Mbps, it is closer to 48Mbps, read up and learn. Besides, XDCAM HDs35Mbps is more like 100Mbps due to the fact that the MPEG codec is sooooooooo much more efficient”
Because it is better when 4:2:0 compressed 35Mbps.Just better.
[Nigel Cooper] “2/3rd lenses won’t cost you any more really, Canon just brought out a new range that are only a tiny fraction more than half inch so no argument there either.”
Where do you get extra wide lens under US$10,000 like Fujinon 3.3×13??
two things to mention here:
HVX-202 is the best small camera on the market and at last Sony woke up and is comming on the market with EX.
Secondly if somebody is shooting SD,they will get better results with decent SD cameras like Pana900 or later versions of Digi Beta Cameras.I do not like much Downconverted image from HD to SD(especially skin tones) from average HD camcorders.
