Hpx300 rumors

I'm interested to see myself if Panasonic will step up to the HD Plate with something truly real. Even if they had 1440 x 1080 chips and interpolated to 1920x1080p it would still be sharper than 960x540. I'm looking to go EX1 all the way if Panasonic doesn't show me something.

It's easy to say there's no since in going full res, but when your editing you need cropping room. 1920x1080 there is no cropping room. So if you slightly blow up the shot, you've already lost sharpness. And the avergae shoot is not going to get true 1080p of res. You're lucky if your saving 940 in that 1080p space. So having more true pixels or possibility of true pixels is worth its weight in gold. That's why I looked past the HVX-series. Besides Panasonic has a huge benefit here to rid some of the EX1s CA problems along with the Rolling Shutter Problem. They can create the perfect camera under $7500!
 
Is this it?

I don't know guys, this could turn out to be nothing but a lame rumor. It already almost 10:00 AM PST and that makes it 1:00 PM EST. I would think if it was going to happen, it's gotta be well before 5:00 PM EST?

To be honest, I kinda agreed with Dan. f the hpx500 would to fade they would at least give out the original $2000 rebate and not the lame $500 rebate (Really , Panasonic ? in this economy ?? only $500 bucks ?). They also just introduced the hpx170 and even the $20k + hpx2000 doesnt get built in AVCIntra. Dont get me wrong, it would be AWESOME to have the full rasta avcintra at under $10k but maybe in a few more years after the aging of hpx170 and the hvx200a.

Oh, and Kholi, have you forgotten that a 1/3" relay lens already exists? The Letus relay for the HD100... heh.

I have! I wonder, though, how it compares to the optics of the newer relay. Also options.

But, either way, you're right!!! This would be an interesting comparison: 1/3" Letus Relay versus the 1/2" Letus Relay w/1/3" adapter. What kind of image performance do you get with either, what's the trade-off from kit lens to 1/3" relay to 1/2" + 1/3" Adapter... things to start considering if'n this thing really comes true.
