I m far more impressed by dvx footages than hvx ones. i firstly wanted to buy the hvx200 but the footages shown are too "real", too "videolike". i hope we can see some new stuffs that will prove that i m wrong. it seems that shooting with dvx is near shooting with 16mm: whatever you re filming, whoever is filming, and you get a good filmish result. hvx seem to be more complex. we have a better resolution, but something is lost, i don t know what ....

I would have to strongly disagree with that. it takes a bunch of aspects to make the dvx 'look' filmic in my opinion. you cant just take out a stock dvx and expect it to look filmic. its about lighting, shot angles, dof, perspective, etc.
I've seen many people post dvx clips on this site that were simply stunning; but i've also seen more so that look like home video cameras. i haven't even used the hvx yet, and i'm not saying its better or worse; but i'm sure that with the correct person behind the camera you can get amazing results with it.

calm down guys ....
that s the problem here, every time we re giving a bad (but personal) opinion on the cam people are getting agressive. we re not playing with children lifes for god sake!
i m just comparing footages not numbers. i don t care about number of lux, ...., that s not my concern, i m not a tv reparator. i just want to have a good feeling with the footage. and i m waiting for the hvx for 1 year, like a lot of panaddict. but for now i prefer the dvx look. the hvx look (for now because we just have a few footages) look so boring ..... mabe we should give it to students and amateurs to see what it can do
