I've just stumbled accross this web site:

Granted, the story and acting seem smelly, but check out these images (grabbed from actual video) taken with a DVX100 fitted with prime lenses:

I'm quite impressed. With better lighting I think these shots could be greatly improved. Download the trailer and see it rolling.

So, who reckons the Panasonic DVX100 is an XL1s beater?

Can I just state this thread was inspired by a similar thread from another board.

I don't want no cross-mojinations goin on.

i wasnt overly impressed by the stills, but watching it moving it did look impressive yes. The film looks a bunch of sweaty balls tho.

Fantastic.

If you look along the walls, there are all kinds of artifacts. But when played back at normal speed, it
probably looks OK.

Which thread was your title inspired by?

Digital Video sometimes does weird things. I was asked once to make a print from a digital 8 videotape.

I discovered that the moving image looked way better than the still image. I literally could see some type of digital data when I tried to pull a specific field from the security tape, but when we played the digital tape back in real time, the image looked much better.

Maybe I should have put, "duh, obviously"...

What's so obvious? If these artifacts are caused by digital video, clue us in as to why.

I saw similar artifacts on another forum and everybody raved about the quality and nobody mentioned the moiree ringing in the background.

Oh wait a minute, it's Digital noise rather than Analog noise, so it's OK. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh, wait another minute, it's digital noise caused by going back to inferior analog, yeah, it's definitely not digital's fault, cuz it never is digital's fault. [img]graemlins/rainbow.gif[/img]
