hi,
I quite often read about how this or that camera has a better picture. Yesterday, i spoke with a video camera lecturer who, when asked which camera he'd choose for outdoor videography (Sony V1 or Canon A1) he replied that he preferred the A1 because it's got a "nicer" picture and a wider lens. The wider lens is a point. What is a better or nicer picture ? Is a better picture one that makes everything look better ? Or is it one which makes a picture realistic ? I see a lot of spectacular video on TV but as spectacular it may be it is not realistic. A lot of footage colour is so over the top that it actually spoils the whole video. (OK, I'm showing my age here :-) So, because I want to buy a good camera with a good picture I ask if anyone has done a comparison yet with these cams.
cheers H
