Hey guys, something that could really help me out:
Right now, I'm trying to decide on two cameras, the Vixia HF S20 and the T2i. Based on their specific technical details, the format of the video is the same on both of these camcorders (native 24P), but of coarse, the nature of DSLR vs. Camcorder have their own seperate flaws.
Thing is, though, I've seen quite a bit of raw footage from the t2i, and I haven't seen it from the S200. Personally, I think it'd be a miracle if anything shot on the t2i could be useful for a big-screen production (as the raw footage always looks so flat and blurry when you see it at it's true big size) but what do I know. I think it'd make it easier though if someone had some raw Vixia S20/S200 footage to show. What a miracle it'd be if someone actually had both cameras and shot the same thing with them. If not, I just wish to see whatever footage someone could very kindly provide from either the S20/S200 or T2i =].
It's just that these two cameras are pretty much the exact equal in price range, brand, and video format, so I'm truly just trying to decide which is truly "better" for very large video.
Also, just for a quick question, could bad lenses be the reason the raw footage from the t2i I have seen so far is so bad at it's native resolution? I'm not exactly saying the raw files I've seen so far were 'horrible' but they truly were very blurry where things were supposed to look sharp *as in I knew the camera was focused in on the subject as much as it could* and it just looked like the footage was 'stretched' compared to something that was shot at true 1080.
