Re: Screen shots from JAG

"Jody is a RESPECTED industry pro and reducing him to the level of an industry shill is both disingenuous and will ultimately backfire on you if you care to keep pursuing this line of discourse."

Ron, my post showed the actual differences between HDV and HDCAM. Many (most) here had no opportunity to see this. The stills matched what I saw on HDTV and did not match what Jody said they looked like. Many others -- an an other site -- have commented on the exactly same thing. Moreover, the color fringing is a serious problem since it matches what I see from 1080i.

"How you can argue against the Sony while defending the JVC to such great lengths, makes many here question what is up here -- me included."

Until I saw video from the Sony I was a strong defender of the Sony against those who were heavily criticising it. Have you forgotten.?

However, when Sony raised the Z1 price and continued to push CF24 as giving a "film look" -- the tide turned for me, And, once I compared 1080i HDV against 720p HDV it was clear that 2 years had gone by for very little increase in image quality.

What you call "arguing against the Sony" is strongly pointing out that the dramatically postive reports by Sony buyers does not match my experience in ANY way.

And, saying the HD10 delivers a better look than the Sony is hardly "defending" JVC. Stating progressive is far better than interlace is not "defending" JVC. I don't know anyone who wants interlace -- even the CineAlta from Sony is progressive.
