Actual Footage From the HVX200

My personal thoughts is that the 720 p clip looks clean and sharp for 720p but the clip labeled 1080p is really only 720p at 60 fps so I have a feeling that is why it looks a little jagged around the edges. Color in the last shot of 1080 looks amazing. And I think the original clip probably looked really good until it got poorly compressed. Hope to see some more accurate footage later.

 

Any thoughts?

Just saw this too, my first impressions - amazing. Very impressed.

Wow. Just wow. That looks far better than I would have expected. I thought the camera was just going to be a HD DVX100 but these seems to have a much more film-like gamma curve and wider lattitude. It easily tops anything I've seen from the CanonXL2.

David, don't you mean the XL-H1? Not sure how fair it is to compare an HD camera to a MiniDV camera like the XL2.

The footage looks great--especially considering it is compressed even further from the HD codecs. I'd love to see some native footage if someone has the bandwidth to host it.
