I should have an FX1 in my hands very shortly. I also have my HD10 still. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for good test comparisons. I'd can shoot with both cameras side by side and will post the result (or deliver them on DVD) if anyone is interested. Please let me know what you would like to see, as I won't have the HD10 for long, as I am selling it.

(Check the classified section if you're interested. All resasonable offers will be entertained).

ALSO - I don't have the bandwidth on any of my websites to post the comparison shots. Anyone have a site with space/bandwidth to post them on?

Hi Bill,

DV Info Net will be happy to host your clips. Just let me know when they're ready. Cheers,

Is there anything in particular you would like to see? I was thinking of the following:

Indoor Tungsten Lit Scene w/ 3 lights (Interview)
Indoor Practical Lighting Only
Outdoor Landscape
Outdoor Closeup

Do you have any suggestions? I'd really love to hear from other users as to what they want to see.

The three most obvious things I can think to test are (1) low-light capability, (2) image quality differences between JVC 720p, Sony 1080i and Sony "Cineframe" footage, and (3) advantages of all the extra controls on the Sony versus limited control on the JVC.

From what I've heard so far, it's a given that the Sony is going to knock the socks off the JVC under just about all conditions. The most relevant direct comparison will be between the Sony Cineframe mode and JVC's native 720p, since progressive recording is arguably the only thing anyone might care about in comparing these two cameras. In particular it would be good to know if running the Sony in CF30 with a locked 1/30 or 1/60 shutter speed eliminates some of the "motion judder" common to progressive-scan recording at 30fps.

I'd like to see a resolution chart with both cameras. Both samples should be in the "un-messed-around-with" original format of each camera.
