When I capture a still from his zoom test movies, I see this:
canon: magenta halos on left side of vertical lines (color under-sampling?) sony: black lines on left of vertical lines ( too high sharpening?) also the sony image seems sharper with more resolution (too much?) Anyone else notice these things? or is it just my computer? I realize that i am far from the original source bits at this point. Again one wonders if either camera is set up optimally. |

This is a lens issue. Most people call this Chromatic Aberration. I am a shooter so I'm not interested in what it is called. I am interested in ways to minimize it in my shots. Whatever you call it, it is prominent in most Canon footage. Canon has introduced a new 6X lens for the XL-H1 which appears to have much less of this red and green fringing. I am considering this lens. The problem is that for very little more than the cost of the lens, I can buy a V1. When I use the Canon XL-H1 for important shots, I try not to use the wide or long ends of the zoom range, and I stay away from anything below f3.6. I tend to shoot in the middle of the lens's zoom range (the sweet spot) where this red and green fringing is minimal. The Sony V1U has this same red and green fringing characteristic, but to a lesser degree, at least in the photos and clips I have seen so far. I am waiting to get more photos and clips and I want to see what the reviewers say about the V1. So far the anecdotal evidence indicates that the Sony V1 has less problems than the Canon with red and green fringing. However only time will tell as more clips and photos appear and the reviews come out. Last edited by Dave F. Nelson; December 23rd, 2006 at 12:59 PM. |

May I say that Wolfgangs blog (look at any page on his blog) is completely directed to Sony equipment? For him Canon is strange. The highway Canon shot is way over top with Gain, that is why you see so much surrounding. It can be done much better.
