Wow, over 100 views and not one single comment. Has DVInfo become just a haven for lurkers?

It's okay to say it sucks or whatnot :-)

Difficult for me, probably many of us to comment on. I know I just got my camera, have not shot with it, so what to compare it to? Looks fine, I've seen your video on Vimeo before. Nothing jumps out at me initially. Apparently the street scenes, low light shooting, are not striking a chord with folks, that doesn't mean it's not great.

In addition, if you had issues or problems for which you were asking feedback, it might help draw responses.

I know I've watched your video multiple times and I just don't have any specific comments. If I had tried to shoot something similar to what you had shot, and had trouble, then I might be asking you what your settings were, etc.. and congratulate you on a job well done. But I haven't.

Shawn,

The ungraded video on Vimeo is 720 HD, but the graded video is 1080 HD. Did you up-rez from 720 to 1080?

Also, the graded video looks a bit noisy compared to the ungraded video.

Now that you mention it Guy, I agree, the graded version is noisier, albeit a bit brighter...maybe there would be happy medium that would allow for a little less noise and still offer a bit more brightness of image than the original.
