Color Space comparison of DV to DVCPRO50

I'd like to see a comparison of DV to DVCPRO50, specifically for color space. Can anyone with the HVX post a couple pictures of the same subject shot in these two modes?
Thank you!
 
Wow, that's amazing. The difference is incredible.
And yeah, nice comparison, eLeventy.
Does anyone have any DV25 and DV50 footage from the HVX?

Barry, thanks for the picture. What were you using to down convert the 720 and 1080 footage? It looks really fuzzy. Fuzzier than DV.
And DVCPRO 50 barely looks better than DV. :(
Are there any "real world" situations where DVCPRO 50 would really stand out from DV footage? Highlights, low light, bleeding red?

DVCPRO50 looks night and day to my eyes next to the DV. Sharpness colour and contrast are all substantially better. Enlightening, thanks Barry. Assume all setting were equal across the range? Is there a reason HD was excluded other than fairness, I dont think I've seen a direct shot for shot comaprisson of HD to DV/25/50.
 
The downconversion from HD to DV was done in-camera.

HD was excluded because... well... I mean, how do you compare them? Do you just make one image bigger than the other? Do you scale one to be the same size as the other? If so, how do you scale it, and do you scale up or down? HD is HD, and standard def is standard-def.
