All you need to know is that you can get true progressive frames from it. Although not silly 24p.
As Alister pointed out on the first page this *isn't* the prototype that was shown at NAB. So expect the EX beater to be announced later. Personally I've had enough of the darling camera phase and I won't be chasing tech any more. I you want me to use a particular camera then hire it and I'll come along and use it for you. Otherwise put up with what I own already. |

The other side of the coin is that 1080i/25 and 1080p/25 have the same amount of uncompressed data per second - the approved nomenclature makes that more obvious. I am now finding it easier to always talk in frame rates. Quote:

Thanks. Actually all I meant was how do you type the terminology - i.e. 1080psf/30 it seems.

There may be 30 frames per sec in both cases, but how those frames are constructed is different.

I think that the problem comes with how motion ends up being represented - I may be crazy, but I swear I can see almost a stop motion effect with 30p stuff I've shot - it appears I'm not alone in this, so I feel a bit more vindicated. 60i looks "smoother" and more natural to my eye.
Strangely, when I render out to 24p from 60i, it still looks smooth, when it "should" look worse, I may have to experiment with some of the 30p stuff I've shot and see how it renders out... Now this is really beginning to gnaw at me... |
With a sensor that huge if it doesn't at least outperform the EX camera in low light I have no use for them. Even If this camera doesn't at least it encourages other companies to release something that will.

Amen brother. Too many options! I'm falling back into digging for stories and content. Like Yogi Berra said to a future Hall of Fame 2nd baseman: "Keep it simple stupid." I'm tired of chasing tech too. I mean it seems to me the purpose of these cameras are to sell lenses! |

This camera completely identifies the weakness in the standard. 30P in 60i and 60i are called the same but they are very different. Ron Evans |

To try and move on, if we can all agree it's 1080psf/30, I'd like to return to the question I put in post 76 - why ONLY 30psf, why not 1080i/30 AS WELL? It's a consumer camera, and traditionally 1080i/25(30) has been Sonys primary mode in these? As I said before, "It's only a theory, but MAYBE, just maybe, it could be because they can read out the entire chip prior to downconversion at 25Hz, but not at 50Hz? Doing that, rather than the arrangement used in most current DSLRs would be a huge step forward since it should take away many of the aliasing problems and give far better sensitiivity. Just a thought." |

For those that have pre ordered this camera. What Memory cards are you using or recommend?
|
I already have sandisks 16GB class 6 cards from my T2i that I will be using and also a couple of Transcend Class 6 16GB cards as well. Hope this helps.

Greg, I would say the 1/3" chip camera at f1.4 would be roughly equivalent to the new Sony camera at f8 for equal DOF.
