Next time you're in a theater, watching a movie, remember... it might have been shot on video, and you don't even know it. Film as a medium, is dying. Actually they can.

They just can't. No matter how great the Digital Cameras are right now, they can’t compete with the resalution of 35MM FILM on the BIG SCREEN.

I have no intention of big screening my stuff and am actually considering a simple ol' FX-1 + 24p software until the Panny workflow becomes a lil more sane or something more feasible comes along. I'm just shooting lo-bud vidz and street dvds. Really only need hd for some green screening. With the tricks I know people are surprised that it's just my 2001 VX2K w/ AE and FCP plugz.

None of the cameras were very impressive. To me the images they produced were on par with well shot Digi Beta. Close up locked off shots look quite nice but when the camera moved even the slightest hard compression kicked in. The way the cameras dealt with 24 fps movement at times looked a little strange. Actually the Z1 doesn't handle 24 at all. On HD monitors and down converts the cameras all look great. Just going out to a big screen you start to notice the short comings from this generation of cameras.
