1080p/720p - No difference?

[Sumfun]

If each chip is 620,000 pixels, than the resolution is actually a little higher than 960x625.

Also, DVCProHD is 1280x1080 (anamorphic), not 1920x1080.

I think the 1080 does look a little better than 720.

What a discussion...

Its so simple: If the 720p picture satisfies you and your clients and you like saving the amount of memory on the p2 cards - use 720p!

For those who think 1080p is the better way - go it.

I´ve been filming a wedding with a hd200 in 720 50p and uprezzed it to 1080i for some reasons - and people like it , though I am convinced the pics didnt become "better" by upresizing, but in this case it simply didnt matter.

My 2c...

While this is certainly bedrock practical advice, it's actually a different discussion from the one this thread is about.
