That must be a very special dvx you have there Rodger :) I happen to have a dvx100b and a xh-a1 and if it comes to overal look I like the dvx better because it has much better color straight out of the box but in sharpness? Not really and then we also have to consider the difference in resolution between ntsc and pal.
You can choose the "squeeze" option in the dvx to get anamorphic 16:9 but that doesn't add any resolution whatsoever, it's still a 4:3 camera producing a 16:9 image to be played on a widescreen tv. You will loose vertical resolution.
You also have the anamorphic adapter which produces the highest resolution possible but that's virtually impossible to work with for run and gun because the autofocus will not work correctly and you have to use a focus chart to get it right.
If my output is dvd then there certainly is a visual difference in sharpness when the lenses are wide between the dvx and a1 and you can see the a1 doesn't loose any resolution.
but comparing 720p to standard definition when viewed on a full hd tv, sorry, but there is no comparison, the hd image will blow away the pana anytime, then the difference is hugh.
