Anyone know precisely how many lines of horizontal resolution are recorded on the DVX100A? I believe it's about 500 in the DVX100, but I can't find anything that mentions the number in the 100A literature.

Re: Horizontal Resolution.
It records at the maximum possible for the DV format, which is 540.

Re: Horizontal Resolution.
Does that mean that the A has higher resolution than the 100? or does the 100 record 540 as well?

Re: Horizontal Resolution.
Both cameras record 540 lines. The "A" is supposed to have a slightly better prism for less chromatic aberration but I haven't seen any side-by-side pictures that demonstrate any difference, and Adam Wilt's review didn't mention anything about the picture being significantly better in any way on the "A".

Nice to know...
So basically, it's probable that you could do a two camera shoot, with one DVX100 and one DVX100A, and you wouldn't notice the difference (assuming you weren't using gain on the A model)

Re: Horizontal Resolution.
You're going to need to ask someone who's done the side-by-side testing for a definitive answer on that. I've used a 100 for a year now, and played extensively with the 100A, and couldn't tell much difference picture-wise. Adam Wilt's review showed a bit of extended latitude for the "A". I'd say that it's a reasonably safe bet that a DVX100 will intercut with a DVX100A better than any other camera would, but it probably won't be identical.

Re: Horizontal Resolution.
Then I guess my question goes out to everyone...
Has anyone tested both cameras side-by-side?

Re: Horizontal Resolution.
I haven't seen anything that says 540 lines of horizontal resolution. This may not be the most scientific method, but if you go to google and do a search for dvx100 and horizontal resolution, you get a couple of different numbers. How do we know what the real number is?
