Hi Pete
Thanks for your input.
It seem the only real difference in the Pro vs Consumer is that the pro has slots available, for HDSDI or HDMI while the Consumer has HDMI built in. And I also understand that the Pro series offers more control over the picture in the menu while the Consumer requires you to access the service menu for the same control.
I've read that Panasonic doesn't offer 10bit via HDMI on the Pro version as they want people to purchase the very expensive HDSDI board.
Everyone want to get setup for the lowest cost as money saved and be spent elsewhere on the suite.
Maybe a proper side by side test for color critical work of both the pro and latest consumer is in order to get to the true of things. You could also have other manufactures join in.
Could this be arranged?
