Call it what ever you like, pixel shifting instead of up-rezing but one thing the chip is not is a 1080p chip. I’m a fan of these cameras so I’m not knocking them.
I will restate my claim – “Most people that I know and have read consider 720p @ 60p or 24pN to be the sweet spot for the HVX200 and HPX170”
If I’m “technically” wrong about my description of the chip and camera record fine I can live with that but I would always shoot these camera as 720p in either 60p or 24p UNLESS I was using footage with another cameras that shooting 1080p.
Ed, in the end you need to do the testing, shoot the same thing at 1080 and 720 which do you like better. Shoot 30p and 24p which do you like better. The only other people that should matter to you is your clients.
