720p vs 1080p film transfer (& HVX200 vs. HD100u)

Hi All,

As I was reading the religious wars between the HVX200 and hd100u users regarding mainly differences of 4:1:1 vs. 4:2:2 , over/under cranking, workflow, HDV vs. DVCPRO HD codec, lenses and pulling chromakeying (Which was proved to be the same between the HVX and the 100u) I was wondering the following:

1. Has any1 tested the differences between converting/transfering 720p vs. 1080p to 35mm? I'm specifically referring to the use of HVX200 vs. HD100u since some DP's said that they shot films in 720p and transferred to 35mm since they didn't think the non native (up-res=upping the resolution) of 1080p which is done on the HVX200 (pixel shifting) would yield any benefit! some even said they thought it would cause the transfer to 35mm film look de-focused or "soft".
Any comments on that?

2. On the same note, assuming that there is a benefit shooting 1080p with the HVX200 - > If I was to use the Hd100U in 720p and then "upped" the resolution in my post NLE - wouldn't it be the same as I am basically scaling the image (doubling lines of resolution) - or maybe that would yield even a better result since the sensor of the hd100u is even higher resolution and the editing suite has more "time" to calculate the conversion vs. whats done in real time in the HVX200?

I hope some1 did the tests in conversion of hvx200 1080p to film and then hd100/110u 720p to film to compare and shed some light on the subject.

Best,
Steve
