HVX using Tape Drive vx DVX in Low Light

[Kenneth]

Just curious--for some SD jobs, I will be using my HVX. (Believe it or not, it has a tape drive--I just found it.)

Is it the same in low light as the DVX100? Or worse, like the HVX using P2 needs so much light.

Thanks.

The DVX has better low-light performance. And in SD, the 60i on the DVX is much, much better.

24p on HVX vs. 24p on DVX is not comparable then?

Is the tape drive HVX any better sensitivity than the P2 DVCPRO-HD performance, or exactly the same?

HVX will be sharper, DVX will be 1 stop faster.

Exactly the same.

Thanks David and Barry!
