I tested Canon J13x9B SD broadcast lens with AG-HPX555.

Here's a clip with various zoom positions shot with 720/30p.

I added shallow depth of field clip.

Kaku, I finally finished downloading the file a moment ago but can't get it to play in QT. I'm running Windows XP Pro, SP 2. Apparently I'm lacking the proper codec. Which one did you use?

Liz,

Sorry this requires Final Cut Pro installed thus DVCPRO HD codec gets installed for QuickTime. You are probably able to playback the H.264 thumnail clips that I posted in the description.

What would be the closest to native DVCPRO HD file for Windows? I can probably convert it for you.

Raylight Decoder is a DVCPROHD Quicktime component for Windows

Thanks Grigory.

Kaku,

How far away were you from the subject when you shot the shallow DOF (the plants) footage ?

Jason, that was about 1 meter away from the one in the front and the where the silver stool is that is about two meters.

By the way, the night shots with HD lens got moved to here.
