I just got the Wolverine F2D14 14 mp version at a higher price. Results don't look that sharp. Will I get better results with this 20 mp version, F2D2

I don't have experience with the other machine but i wouldn't get my hopes up. The F2D2 makes acceptable home copies, but won't suffice for professional uses. Hope this helps.

Probably not. The 20 MP version has only about twenty percent more linear resolution than 14 MP (sqrt [20/14]).

It sucks but it was worth the wait. Here are links to my first GH2 test video on youtube and Vimeo that has the native 1080p24 MTS 93mb file available for download that looks better on a large HDTV.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI8iL4H-Cckhttp://vimeo.com/17899410My GH2 with 50mm F1.4 Pentax FA lens:http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5288/5267764174_755d8e68bd_b.jpg

Go to avsforum.com and search for this model. There is a post in the hundreds of posts with a list of everyones settings. Cinema seems best, but offhand I'm not sure of the other settings (picture, sharpness, etc.)

The A35 also does have a better video processor than the A30, this is especially noticable when you're upscaling standard def stuff. Many people have said they are getting a slightly sharper image than with the top of the line XA2 as well - whether that is good or bad is up to you, some people like the sharper image, some don't. Check out AVSforum.com in the HD DVD player section for more feedback.

more importantly, how will the image quality be and will it be worth owning? reviews of the P80 were not kind. I'm hoping they have fixed this issue.

Hello friends AmazonSure I can help Mr. dallas. The problem is that I use much. Micca MPLAY-HD 1080p Full-H. But I think with the greatest respect to allusers. With the Internet and check all the movies and documentariesentered online at practically the HDMI and 3D HD DVD, Blu-ray, etc.are coming to an end I see myself in almost all stores. Nobody buys DVD movies. Personally what I do is download the movies in HDMI Internet 3D Blu-ray, etc.. And I copy a 360GB hard drive for viewing my Micca MPLAY-HD 1080p Full-HBest regards,

In fact, they are not recording the same quality, HG20 is a set ahead than HF100, 24Mbps against 17Mbps, resulting better quality. Can we see the difference? Who knows? But it's there...I aggre with you, HF100 feels cheap(in fact it's cheaper) but does not give the quality feel of HG20, it's not as ergonomic as HG20...HD part of HG20 lets you to handle it better, HF100 feels too small..But, are these enough to pay about 65-70$ more?

i'd suggest searching you tube/vimeo for the handful of clips f/tm700 that were shot in 1080p/24 cinema mode and the HA 1080i mode...judge for yourself if the quality is good enough...if you have at least a dual-core computer 2.0-3.0 ghz you should be ok power wise.

I don't know, but the 14-40 is designated PRO and is sharp wide open. A F2 lens is often soft wide open. At 14mm my lens has little distortion if any and is sharp and contrasty at all focal lengths. Good luck on your decision!

I'm going to be giving this a shot as I'm shooting 4k and want to process footage in the field. I'll let you know after I spring for this unit. Either way, its still a good drive and I'm sure it should work with at the minimum a lower resolution in the timeline.

I've had very good results using the optical zoom on both stills and videos. I was impressed with the video sharpness at high zoom settings. I've only used the digital zoom on stills. It got in really close with OK results but wasn't as sharp as I would have liked. I was using 1600 ISO settings which may have contributed to some loss of sharpness.

I did not have the older version, but my friend who is also a professional photographer says there is a world of difference between the sharpness in the newer version and the older one. I actually purchased the new based on his recommendation.

i have this camera and the 1ds mark ii 16.7 mp for me there both take sharp pictures,of course with the L lens,the iin is faster,the 1ds mk ii,you get higher resolution,that's it.that's why i have 2 cameras,one slow and one fast,one 1.3x versus 1.0x crop factor

I have had the 17-85 for a couple months and i already want to upgrade.. i want to sell it. i want the 17-40 f4 really bad. i would say unless dont mind about pictures that lack somewhat sharpness i would go with the 17-40. the 17-85 is hard to use i think.. of course unless you want mine ide sell it to you :)

If you have VRI and a DX camera, I think you should keep it, unless you shoot directly at a light source (the new one has N - Nano coatings which reduces flare) or want to utilize the benefits of VR II. that means you should be shooting handheld at really slow shutter speeds. If you have a FX body and shoot landscapes with VRI lens, you may not see corner to corner sharpness. The new version is essentially viewed as an upgrade to FX shooters (mostly pro shooters at the moment) who want corner to corner sharpness in all their shots. Save yourself some money and enjoy your old one. Get a good wide angle lens for that cost. Again, all this, if you are on a budget. If you are a Nikon fanboy, you wouldn't have posted this question here.. Gud luck with your choice...

To Tom Martin or anyone who can help, excluding video, why is the EOS 50D 15.1MP a higher quality than the T1i or T2i?I'm trying to decide between the three and when I look at the list of specs for them, they all seem almost identical from what I can tell. I'm sure I'm missing something. Does the 50D have a more rugged build?Thanks to anyone who contributes an opinion on this.

http://www.youtube.com/user/artfacestudios/videos?view=0 these videos were pretty much all made with the hvr a1u. From the youtube clips ive seen using the dcrvx2100, i can tell you they seem similar, but maybe the dcrvx2100 is a little on top... Low light on the a1u is grainy, not as bad as some videos ive seen, but definitely noticeable! I also want to find a good low light video camera... Also a little off topic but...i will take the a1u footage over gopro hero2 footage any day. My friend shoots with a Canon D5 or something like that. He really has a lot of control with the camera and his footage is very similar to the a1u. Maybe even better! http://www.youtube.com/user/artfacestudios/videos?view=0 these videos were pretty much all made with the hvr a1u.
