i've been reading and learning about the pdx10's widescreen...and if i'm correct, it retains it's resolution in 16:9 mode, instead of blowing up the image horizontally or chopping it vertically.

so if this is true, what i'm wondering is this: could i shoot and edit in 16:9 mode, and then before output, use the "Aspect Ratio" slider in the "Distort" menu of the the "Motion" tab to shrink the video vertically (-33.3%) to correct the aspect ratio, and therefore shrinking the vertical pixels and creating a sharper-higher-quality image? does this make any sense?
