> Are there any disadvantages to the GL1 (apart from automatic sound?) The chips are a bit on the soft side, and horizontal aliasing can be a problem. > Doesn't it have all those things people have been writing about, the 16:9 The 16:9 is the cropped version (360 scanlines) as the camera is 4:3 native. > and progressive scans, etc? Ooh yah, it does that. > Wasn't there a problem with Sony DVcams claiming to have these features, > but not? The Sonys (VX1000 aside) do 16:9 the same way (the DSR-500WS at US does it correctly). Sony proscan is at 15fps (12.5 fps PAL), making it larlely unusable for motion imaging. > Isn't the GL1 the only DV camera that allows the image sharpener to be > adjusted? The VX1000, VX2000, and their DVCAM brethren the DSR-200 and DSR-PD150 also allow sharpness adjustment. > Maybe someone should write a concise pro/con list for these models, and > send it out to whoever (like me) keeps bringing up boring comparison > questions :) FWIW I have compared the VX1000, TRV900, and GL1 at 2-pop: http://www.2-pop.com/articles/articles017.shtml http://www.2-pop.com/articles/articles018.shtml http://www.2-pop.com/articles/articles019.shtml http://www.2-pop.com/articles/articles021.shtml Cheers, Adam Wilt
> Have you had an opportunity to try out the DVCAM version of the VX2000 > which is the PD150? If so, what was your impression? A brief run-through at NAB. Rather nice. Separate L/R audio leveling with separate meters. Mono finder easier to use than VX2000's color finder (but still no peaking control as on a "real" camera, and the miniscule size of the finder negates some of the benefits of high-res monochrome). Built-in XLRs, switchable line/mic and with phantom power, make real-word shoots easier, though lack of a built-in mic can be a disadvantage when shooting casually or travelling as light as possible. Switchable between DV and DVCAM recording. Were I in the market I'd definitely get the PD150 instead of the VX2000. Cheers, Adam Wilt
