To what sort of “resolution” can we expect these measurements to be, to the metre, decimetre, centimetre or what?

Ok – strange things going on with that footage. You editing in a BMD 8bit timeline? Can’t easily test that without a lot of reconfigureing here, but for that, you’ll have to set the field order of the filter to upper.
When I tried that on a DV timeline it didn’t work, and it didn’t work on lower either – strange. So I saved out your movie from the DV timeline to a DV codec, brought that back in, rendered set to lower (as DV is lower) and it looks beautiful. That’s a really nice crane shot, the movement is super smooth, and with one of the nice film presets it just looks like film. Lovely.

It won’t run on any nVidia card due, I think to driver issues. About to try it out now on the X800, but boy does it make a difference in Doom3!

Unless the removable lens is a “special” just for that camera and bundled with it. You still have no idea what it would go on sale for in a less “tied” economic environment. BTW, have JVC published the specs on their lens for the HD100, MTF curves etc.?? I wish manufacturers would publish a long list of specs with their cameras, and the methodology by which they measure them.

Got the clip. Thanks. Nice shot! I’ll test it out today and see how I get on!

I think that’s an economic over-simplification, and I do think the lens housing of a fixed lens will be significantly cheaper for Panasonic to produce, and looking into the economics of parts cost compared to final customer purchase price, they don’t have to shave much off the parts cost of going fixed to have a significantly bigger budget for glass.

Surely it’s the codec the timeline is set to? If that codec reports back to FCP – “I can play the current video clip” then FCP takes off the red bar and gets the codec to play it. If the codec says “not mine” then FCP renders. Now this will only work if the codec can actually play the video it’s asked, but surely that’s the sort of thing that’s going on behind the scenes??

Yes – totally agreed! I’ve been on at anyone at 3dlabs who will listen for about 6 years now to do top end mac OpenGL card, and AFAIK, it’s something more to do with Apple than the card manufacturers. So if anyone at Apple is listening – listen to Marco and take his thoughts seriously and do something about it!!!

I’m sure if you put in an order for 100,000 HVX200 lenses, then they’re very affordable indeed, but if you, as a consumer put in a single order, they may then just cost $10,000! I think that’s just how the economics works – by making it a fixed lens, Panasonic can put more of the lens budget into the glass, and because they’re buying a rather large amount of them, they get a good deal, and because they got it designed specificaly for this camera, prism, chipset, they can optimized parameters to get better quality out of it that would be otherwise possible.
