I am trying to get a hold of some 1080p footage from the HPX500 as I am interested in buying one. The 1080P feature is very interesting and would love to see how it holds up on my 1080p monitor...

I know that the sensor is doubled to get 1080p (over 60i) with an added advanced pulldown So im wondering how it will hold up on screen, and will I see a ton of artifacts...

Any footage/info would help greatly...

I have seen the 720PN footage, and it is getting close to looking like varicam footage in terms of picture quality...

Thanks in advance for any footage...

I've got a 500 sitting here, however it is one very expensive paperweight as the lens has yet to arrive. As soon as I get my hands on that, my plans are to go out and put the camera through it's paces. I'll see what i can come up with for you

thanks so much! I cant wait to buy mine.

I just got mine and shot with ll sorts of settings. I must say, the 1080P turns in a great image from what I shot at 24PA.

you can check out some stills at http://harrisfilms.com

for some browsers, my website resizes to fit the frame, but the dynamic range examples, as well as the pictures of the cat are all shot at 1080p.

Below the stills is a video (compressed, but still, you can see it in motion).

it was shot with the Fujinon HAc15x7.3 cine zoom lens.
