The 3 way shoot out

John,
I do remember the XL2 vs. DVX spiltscreen. Even then I came away feeling the DVX was a better lowlight camera but not necessarily a more filmlook. But that is neither here nor there. The DVX rocks for what it is is. But when you really start to work on 16x9 exclusive projects it does lose it's footing a little. I just wish a real 16x9 SD DVX100 would have been released. Then I could have it all. The HVX looks great but it is a little too steep of a price for one who is only going to use SD features.
 
Too true Ice

I'm just a hack wannabe short filmmaker anyway; so what do I know. The DVX is like the Golden Monkey for me. I'm not doing it for profit or a living; just for my spare time and the love of making movies.
 
Wow, tremendous article. While I detect a DVX-biased viewpoint, it didn't diminish my admiration for the thoroughness presented. I would have liked to see more low light images, however. I own the Sony Z1U and am sorely disappointed by the low light issues and am considering an XL2 (I would have bought the DVX100b if they had made it native 16x9... sigh). But I would love to see a more complete series of low light tests at varying levels of gain, exposure, etc. Anyone know of any such test images beyond this article? I would like to see if the XL2 would offer a noticable improvement over the Z1U in low light performance.
 
So after reading the 3 way Shoot Out Article, I was convinced that the DVX was the way to go. But if Im a filmmaker hoping to make it to theaters someday, does that mean that the xl2 natie 16x9 will pay off in the end?
 
I found the article very helpful in making my choice to order a DVX100B. Thanks for a great article.
 
Don't rule out the HVX. Its a hell of a camera. I sold my dvx and did some overtime to pay for the HVX. You can get the camera by itself and record DVCPro50 for greater resolution. But I think recording to DVCPro50 has to be done with the P2 cards.
 
What is the best camera for me??
