Para2 seems to show 24p movement jitter, or than the para1. Were they shot or processed different ? Or is that just me...

60p?
So the press release claims 60P but DSE doesn't mention it. Is the official spec sheet out?

I am concerned that 960x1080 is not a self consistant resolution for the diagonal pixel arangement, and that no mention has been made to confirm or deny that the unit suffers from the same (ClearVid intrinsic) diagonal resolution problems of the HC3.
Douglas, are you willing/allowed to comment on these? |

Para 1 looks superb though. Resized down to 720p it looks nicer and more refined than my HD100 ever did. I would consider Para1 to be the one we should be looking at, and ignore Para2 for the time being.

Is it possible 60p is going to be available by upgrade in the future- by some sort of an upgrade when and if that format becomes more standard??.

I understand, and I don't pretend to understand the technical side of it. So you experts will know this better than I. But what I was trying to find out is that with the available onboard processing capability, could an upgrade in the on board software, be accomplished by some upgrade process, and if so, does the camera have the hardware to get it out. Edit: I think I remember Canon offering some upgrade recently like that... I think I read your response to mean "no way".

Well, there's no way to know. There is no 1080/60p format out there, there's no broadcast standard for it, so I doubt they've designed an upgrade path for something that doesn't exist yet. Possible but I'd be surprised.
Now, if Juan at www.reel-stream.com were to Andromedize this, then there'd be a way to get 60p out of it, but other than that it's doubtful. |

I'm guessing 60p's primary benefit would be for better slow motion production. Could the human eye really tell the difference between 30 full frames per second and 60 fps ? I kind of doubt it since, there is such a marked difference between 24 fps and 30 fps.
The way I see it, the real promising aspect of this camera is getting 30 and 24p into the HDV 1440 x 1080 frame without loss of resolution?
