I'm working on some action sports style videos featuring remote control hobby level model cars. The reach high speeds and move quite fast, so a camera system that works well with little artifacting and progressive scan is where I'm leaning. I've been working with DVCAM via a Sony DXC-D30 setup and have found that its a fine line between shutter speed, depth of field, and getting enough light. Many of these events are indoors.
HD interests me for two reasons. First, its almost impossible to fill the frame with action and stay ON subject both focus and framing. As a matter of fact, its almost impossible to shoot on a tripod. You just can't move the camera fast enough. So hd would give me the chance to do some image stab and zoom in software and still get a viewable image.
As it is, the limitations of SD and interlacing issues with slomo are making me quite interested in a system with low compression artifacting and the ablility to shoot slomo native in progressive scan.
To give you a very rough idea of what I'm up to, here is a link to a very quick and dirty piece I put together as a one man crew, no lights, very quick and dirty:

Notice the artifacting and de-interlacing issues in the slomo. Thats the stuff I'm really looking to improve.
Anyone have any examples of the HPX used in this capacity?
Thanks!
