    [Nigel Cooper] “The new 2/3rd inch will be a bloody amazing camera with better colour space and 50Mbps etc, but it is not designed to ‘nuke’ the F350 or F355, it is simply a ‘Broadcast’ full-on version, and it will be

  • [Simon Wyndham] “Variable framerate is good on both cameras. Although the 350 is adjustable in single frame increments while the 500 only has set framerates.”
    with f350 you will lose resolution

    [Simon Wyndham] “On the minus side, while the 500 does come with the 1.5″ viewfinder, it doesn’t come with a microphone.”
    F330 comes with 1.5′ vf

    [Simon Wyndham] “It doesn’t have any colour matrix adjustment at all, and the vast majority of its menu settings such as detail, gamma etc only go from -7 to +7, much like a prosumer camera like the HVX200. Knee can only be configured as low, medium, and high”
    I do like Panasonic colour more then Sony,especially skin tones.

    One big plus with 1/2 Sony cameras is: HD lenses are cheaper

  • They all are and will be PAL/NTSC.
    If Sony will release 2/3′ XDCAM HD50 with 24p and variable frames for US$30,000 today,they will not sell as many High End current stuff today….especially if some buyers are waiting for RED.

    Bottom line is,if someone needs HD Television Camera Today and earn today’s competitive rates then both Sony F330/50 and HPX 500 are good enough for affordable HD acquisition.

  • B>[Peter Corbett] “I was left with no doubt at the Sony stand that the camera will not ship with VFR.”

    They will have 2 models.

  • [rafalaos] “How can the two systems give a similar quality when one run a signal of 100Mbs and the other one only 35Mbs? From a theoreticall point of view DVCProHD should allow much better quality.”

    With XDCAM hd mpeg2 codec 35Mbs is more like 80Mbs in DVCPRO hd.
    DVCPRO hd format is a bit better then XDCAM hd 35Mbs…..that is,if one has megapixel block in front of it.
    This will change with the introduction of XDCAM hd 50 in September.

    To get the perfect formula for HD,one needs good HD glass,1920×1080 block,good digital processing and 4:2:2 HD recorder like DVCPRO hd,XDCAM hd 50,HDCAM(sr) or ??
    We do not live in perfect world so to save money we take short cuts.

  • This is the best post i have ever read on this forum.

  • [Jan Crittenden Livingston] “Actually the old SDX block was 525,000 pixels and the best it could do was 30 frames per second. This is a new vision. It is ab;es to samp;le at 60 frames per second, something that the SDX could not do.”
    Not in PAL.

    [Jan Crittenden Livingston] “Oh please, we are talking about a $14,000 camera, that is the HPX500. Do you really expect it to have 1.1 million pixels? The trade off is that it is a 2/3″ Imager. It really is about whether you have the budget. If you can do the 1.1, then the HPX2000 would fit in against the F350 price. But I find it odd that Pete can find the F350 at the HPX500 price. I wonder why?”

    Why….?? Well it is quite simple Jan…it is not $14,000.Do not forget to spend another US4,000 on memory-that is if one can buy one.
    And then you need CERTIFIED lens,HD lens…that is another $$$$.
    And then you spend another $2,500 on 2′ VF.
    Last time i enquired about HPX2,000 it was US28,000 + VF + P2….US$33,000..

  • bad,bad luck.
    Had problems twice with SP tapes long time ago.
    Steve,this can happen to any camera and any format.
    In 5 years from now we will not discuss the tape anymore.
