Sony HDV doesn’t do 24p. So if you like the film look of the DVX100 you’ll not get it with the Sony. The Panasonic looks pretty tasty but it’s fairly expensive compared to the DVX100. Might be a good time to wait and see what happens.
Which cams do you mean? This forum relates mainly to the Panasonic HVX200 which will not be available for at least a few more months so not much info to be had here.
The Synchro Scan on your camera works identically to the snob DP’s F900. You’ll be smiling at his attempt to milk the client for more $ as you shoot away.
Yeah Jiri- sounds like you got a nothing special upconvert. I’ve seen great work done for example with Algolith operated by someone who really knew their stuff. Miracles can be done.
I beg to differ- I’ve seen amazing blowups to HD done from the SDX900. It’s all in what methods you use to do the upconvert and how solid the original footage is. And we all can’t afford to shoot HD…
