Just took a look at that document. Does the FS-100 in fact have 1000 lines of resolution? If so, that's great news, I havent been paying much attention to this cam until now!

it´s horizontal lines in that document. isn´t vertical resolution the important value?
I read of a real resolution of about 780 lines unfortunately, less than the 850 lines I get from my GH2
But that really is the only downside of the cam it seems.
But I really don´t understand why they were unable to get the maximum 1080p resolution out of the cam, while the sensor has over 3 milion video optimized pixels.

Oh boy. Here we go again.
How can I read this chart?
800 is pretty much ok
I think the AF100 only resolves 680-700 lines
Hopefully that wasn't for me. I'm not trying to start a flame war here. Just trying to gauge actual data on the resolution of the camera.
I hate to crosslink to another blog, but if you read through this thread and still want to talk about lines of resolution, I will be impressed: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/sony-av...s-comparison-f3-fs100-af100-philip-bloom.html FYI - Line discussion really gets going on page 4.

It occurs to me that while the Fs100 may have the same sensor as the F3 it may have a different AA filter in front
Additionally I wonder if this is designed to soften the image to somehow interact with the lower bandwidth codec
the above is speculation
Of course in the res chart I linked to what I dont see is the wild moiree and colours of a canon DSLR
Softness per se is less of an issue

where it says "8" that's 800 lines? Can you see the lines at 800 in the chart?
Yeah, multiple times. I can see that the single lines in section 8 are visibly distinguishable, which is not possible in the "10" section but I have no clue how I can tell precise numbers by means of this chart, like "that´s 780 lines!"

Looks like 800 or better to me too. Not shabby, especially compared to the AF100 (or a 5D Mark II -= one chart I saw looks about the same vertically. It's horizontal res is lousy though - maybe 500? and aliases quickly where the FS100 is hitting 1000)
