So you've all heard of camera's that can shoot "true" 16:9 dv footage.
So tell me this, If I shoot someting on a Sony PD170, in "wide mode" (typically this camera does not shoot TRUE 16:9) then what is the difference between that and shooting 16:9 on my Sony FX1???
When I capture both to my hard drive, they both have the same pixel count, and frame size.
I know that one camera has a 16x9 "chip" or "sensor" and the other one uses anmorphic lense to fake 16x9. But really, at the end of the day, how much sharper is the finished DVD going to be using footage shot on a "true" 16x9 camera?
Very little, if none, if you ask me.
I ask this because I know a few guys who have been doing weddings for many years, and they refuse to use the "wide" mode on their older camera's. WHY??? Because its not "true" wide screen. Sure 4:3 will be sharper, but the resulting DVD with a little adjusting (sharpening), will be much better in wide screen....IMHO.
Anyone???
ohhh....and just to ad quickly, remember Premiere 6.5's wide screen settings where 1024x576 (sqaur pixel 16:9)????? Is that incorrect? What dv camera can shoot 1024x576 square???
