Re: HPX500 5600 Preset Fix

The noise is not just in the outside shots and I'm not complaining about the noise per se just the fact that their cheaper camera may be less noisy than their more expensive camera. I know they've probably done this to keep pace with the Sony ex-1 to whom I assume they were losing sales. But still if the tech was available so quickly to fix the 200 you would think they would have incorporated it into the 500 from the get go.

Sorry I'm a little under the weather today and I had to cancel a shoot because I've got a bad cold. So my so called thought processes may not be up to snuff.

The 2x is almost always worth it. Baykeh was just a joke relating to the fact that under some situations the Bayer filter on the ccd can cause some odd looking backgrounds on teleshots. It usually shows up as the foreground object being in focus and the background looking like a series of diagonal lines. It happens alot when you're shooting outside and you have a lot of small objects like leaves in the background.
It was a joke relating to the quality called bokeh that is the quality of out of focus images so prized by the Japanese that they invented the term. Leica still camera lens have what is considered the best. Panavision and zeiss have it in spades in movie camera world.
