Re: OT: End of Prosumer Camcorders???

[Stuart Hooper] "It was the BBC that released some kind of white-paper deeming the 5D unsuitable for broadcast. "
Hi
Here's some informal quotes from the guy that did the testing, from another forum:
"I have done formal tests on one and found out just what it does. 30Hz is a problem, but not the most significant one (the spectacular spatial aliasing, which makes it very difficult to compress well for broadcast at a sensible bit-rate)
There are lots of things about it that make it a walking disaster.

On my tests of it for the BBC, we stopped early on in the tests because the first results were so disastrous that we didn't need to complete them.
...makes some devastatingly nasty spatial aliasing as well.
...the pictures are very difficult to compress because of all the moving spatial aliasing. It's dire.

(Good results?) With a significant diffuser on the lens, I'll agree.

Canon said that there was no plan for an upgrade that might ameliorate the problems. It's banned for broadcasting."
