Yeah, it is SD considering the camera and this was shot back in 2003-2005 on the Canon XL1s… I suppose I expected more.
I guess even a better MiniDV playback unit wouldn’t increase the output quality much, right?
I guess my next research is into filters and techniques to bring up the appearance / quality of the video.
Yeah, it’s nuts that a camera I spent over $2-3000 on back in the day is outshot by the iPhone in my pocket and the $30 gopro knockoff I bought off ebay.
