Ken - I waded in on this issue elsewhere - some thinking was along the lines that the zoom range on many of these lenses is just too high - resulting in very complex optical design that even the best fluorite and/or ED elements can not correct for.

As an example - my DSLR Canon L glass delivers stunning images - WAY WAY beyond the current HD 1920 x 1080. The zoom range though is 70mm - 200mm - 1.5x or something compared to the HD video lens at 20x......

Of all the cameras I own, my XHA1 gives by far the most CA. Basically ruins everything shot with it in my opinion. My Sony Fx1 typically has about half as much or less. My $600 Samsung HMX20 seems to have essentially no CA. Perhaps it runs some digital filter internally to automatically remove any. Some newer still camera do exactly that.

Cheers,
Anna

i use a Canon 17-85 lens on a DSLR which is a little notorious for CA and wonky barrel distortion, but i think its flexibility is more important than the effect of CA at the wide end, which i really don't notice that much (plus, i LIKE wonky)...
in Adobe camera raw, there are ways of dealing with CA and barrel distortion in a still picture, and then saving a profile for the lens... not sure if there is such a thing for video.

Can't help thinking this is a pretty minor problem that the vast majority of people will NEVER notice especially if the composition of the shot is good enough - something that often gets neglected with all these technical quibbles.
