Hi Alister, I sent a note to Sony to ask them about the formats and to better understand the new format naming convention used in the ex1r. Here is their response: Unlike HDV and similar formats, the EX1R is actually a progressive imager and recording, you will not have any more aliasing in 1080 than you would have in 720. Shooting in 1080 will give you more temporal resolution and depth of modulation, which will actually yield a better down conversion.
“Unlike HDV and similar formats, the EX1R is actually a progressive imager and recording, you will not have any more aliasing in 1080 than you would have in 720. Shooting in 1080 will give you more temporal resolution and depth of modulation, which will actually yield a better down conversion. New to the EX1R are formats that were not previously available on the other EX cameras. This required a change in the naming of the formats. For example, in HQ mode, you can shoot in 1920 x 1080 or in 1440 x 1080 resolutions in 60i, 30P, and 24P. To differentiate these modes, they decided to use the horizontal resolution for naming instead of the vertical resolution as other cameras do. So now you see HQ 1920/60i and HQ 1440/60i. When you see a 1280/50i, that indicates you are recording at 1280 x 720 @ 50i.”
Would you agree on the aliasing issue?

Thank you both very much for the advice! I’ll go with 720p25!
