HXV200a - HPX170: not the same image

I can't believe this... I'd like to hear more about this... MAN! that's bull-crap!

Has anyone posted footage shot while wiggling it like that? Does it go haywire or does it stay perfectly aligned with the CCD block? I suppose the whole guts wiggle with it! But that won't make anyone feel better about it.

Sorry, but it's still not completely clear to me that your HVX was the "A" version. Was it?

It's quite possible that a non "A" HVX could have been bought new in July.

HVX201 is the european version for hvx200a, so I'm more than sure. We don't have the 200a model, we have the 201 so it is imposssible to make confusion between 200 and 201

Read my latest post in the show-stopper thread -- this "play between the lens and the body" issue is EXACTLY THE SAME on the HVX200. Just tried it. No difference. And we've been using HVX200s for almost THREE YEARS now.

This is a tempest in a teapot and a non-issue.
 
No way! Really? I am going to check it right now! This is great news Barry!!!

EDIT: OMG! WOW!!! Well... hahahahaahah!!! This is great them! If I haven't noticed it yet then I CERTAINLY don't have an issue with this at ALL!!!!


EDIT #2: I just can't believe it!! hahaha.... I've had this all the way back to the DVX and never noticed it... well at least we know it is never going to fall apart cause after nearly destroying DVX's back in the day and using my 200 for quite some time now I never has a single issue with the cameras... I was all freaked out and not I feel like Barry gave me some much needed valium. lol

This is so hilarious to me. Here we all were screaming and complaining, and it's done it all along.

I'm so happy with the HPX. the image is SUCHHHH an improvement over the HVX. More than I thought it would be.

It has the clean prestine look of the EX1, with the beautiful color rendition we've all grow so used to


and....I frame compression!

yay.

Can anyone Confirm the 170 and 200A are different images?

And, I thought the 200A equivalent was 201AE? Not just 201
 
I've also done a side by side test (nothing scientific) under the same lighting conditions and scene file settings

and I prefered the HPX170 image. It seemed brighter and cleaner.

We're not talking about the original HVX200. We're talking about the 200A.
 
Brighter and cleaner than a 200A? They're the same. You sure you guys aren't comparing against the old/original HVX200?

HPX170 vs. HVX200, yes it'll be noticeably brighter and way way cleaner.
HPX170 vx. HVX200A, they should be basically indistinguishable.
 
FALSE ALARM


I made a really stupid mistake.

The comparison WAS 200a against 170

BUT

the 200a had a shutter speed of 1/60 vs the 170's 1/48.

It's my pal's 200a, so I just turned it on not noticing the shutter.

Now that I look at them they look alot more alike. Almost identical actually.
 
so you liked the 1/48th better just because you had better exposure... you were probably setting exposure on the 170 and then carrying over the settings to the 200a...

that makes sense!

PHEW!!!! MAN! My poor little heart can't take all this... I need to rest. SO glad to hear that either cameras would be a good choice cause I juuust might go for a used 200A to save some money. The only thing that is making me thing 170 is the HD-SDI for use with a Carrion.
 
Hi Roberto,

there are several reason to switch to HPX others than the HD-SDI

1. the weight
2. the focus assist
3. the multistandard (for us in europe)
4. the waveform and vectorscope
5. the lockable firewire port
6. the ability to change framerates without access to menu
7. the lockable focus ring (for using with adapters)
8. the overscan/undercan monitor function

and others

Shooting with HPX is a real delight expecially if you use a 35mm adapter

Regards

Gary
