When I say it was dark outside, I mean 10 minutes later it was black.

Just my cat in the yard here hunting down something I couldn't see. Its just to show the low light performance. Using the Fujnion 17X7.6BERM.

This was shot with the aperture wide open at about a distance from 15 feet then about 6 feet for the closeup. In Cinelike V no less.
No gain was added here.

I will leave the 1080 up for a few weeks.

That's really cool. Does anyone know how the HPX500 compares with the DVX100 for low-light performance? About same?

What I learnt from forums, 2/3 CCD is more sensitive than 1/3 CCD.

I have both HVX200 and HPX555 (500), the difference is obvious.
 
=\ Sotty again, makin' it harder not to spend money on upgradin' to an entirely different camera.
 
Hey Sotty,
I downloaded the AVI, but can't play it back from my XP machine. Did you use any funky codecs or anything?
 
Really nice available light footage. One question, is your cat wearing eyeliner?! I swear, the fine quality of the HPX's image continues to amaze me.

LOL. I don't think so this time....however I caught her a few times putting on her makeup before a performance.
 
Ok, let me try reposting or changing the codec. I was able to play them back on both my XP and Vista, so, I don't know. I'll have it changed shortly.
