4x3 capable?

[arnold]

Does the hvx200 shoot in 4x3 or is it only 16x9? I don't want widescreen for what I'm shooting and will record to mini dv. Also, will recording to tape give the same picture quality as the dvx100a?

Arnold. It does shoot 4x3 and 16x9 both to mini DV. I believe it's very very comperable. The DVX is a bit faster, but the HVX has a nicer lens.
