Speaking of which, how much *would* one of those things cost? Could one rent it from somewhere?

I'd love to see a dolly shot utilizing some DOF and movement in the frame!

Re: Mini 35 adapter
Jarred,
PLEASE try to get ahold of an XL1s and the XL1s adapter, and shoot side-by-side. That is the one test I was unable to conduct, and I'd love to see the results.
Specifically, does the removable lens of the XL1s overcome the limitations of its 7-year-old CCD's, versus do the new-generation, higher-res progressive CCD's of the DVX overcome the limitation of having the fixed lens...
If you can get an XL1s adapter and shoot some res charts and some scenes between the two cameras, using the identical same lens, and same mode (i.e., 60i on both, or 30P vs. frame mode, etc. so there's no whining from the Canon camp) then it'd be great to see the results!

Re: Mini 35 adapter
We actually tested the mini35 on the canon 2 weeks ago... damn. I think I may be able to pull it off though.

Re: Mini 35 adapter
Yes! A side-by-side is the only way to answer the question. Same mini35 unit, same lens, same subject, same lighting, only thing different would be the camera head.

Re: Mini 35 adapter
I would like to see screen grabs with and without the mini35 adapter of a resolution chart. Its important that the pictures you post are 720 X 480 low/no compression images and have the exact same framing between the two of them. Thanks!
