Hi guys,
just an update for those who may be interested;
we had our new MX500 into Panasonic for tape transport problems and for them to look at the edge enhancement and grain problems that we found objectionable in a 3 chip cam. After 5 weeks they have said that the transport issues are a problem but they can't track them down - so a replacement is the better option.
As far as the edge enhancement goes, they tested it against another new MX500 and an MX350 and concluded that the "image quality was within the specifications for that unit".
Which roughly translated means that's how the cam is, take it or leave it.
For us at least, that's the end of our association with this (otherwise) well featured little camera. Thanks again to all those who contributed to the past posts on the subject and best of luck with your own MX's.
best,
David.
