Re: Cineframe 30/Cineframe 25 resolution loss vs. 60i

It depends on what you mean by "compare". In some ways they can't compare at all -- the FX1 is high-definition, and when viewed on a high-def monitor it's in another league entirely.

In other ways the DVX and XL2 are quite superior to the FX1 -- 24P motion, light sensitivity, audio, etc.

Different tools for different uses. If you want to make high-def, the FX1 is the only practical choice right now. But if you want to make DVD's for standard-def release, the DVX and XL2 are better overall cameras for that purpose. Like a spoon is good for soup but doesn't do much for steak, and a fork is better for steak but doesn't do so good for soup.

I've posted lots of photos and comparisons of DVX vs. XL2 vs. FX1, when used for the purpose of making DVD's, on some of the other forums.
