Shot this on the 100b the other day. Pretty cool look for $100.

Solid!

I picked up one a couple years ago. Love it. Still has an appeal after all these years.
 
Nice. You shot this 24p right? Interesting how it somehow has an interlaced feel. I guess DVX was not true progressive camera right? Or I'm thinking of XL2?

What’s strange, is that when i capture via the firewire and Quicktime method i learned from some guy on youtube, i found tearing in the interlaced footage. it looked absolutely awful. In the end i had to grab an old computer and use Adobe Premier Pro 1.5.

When you say interlaced, do you mean the fields are separating, or do you mean it looks like higher more “video” fps, like 60 or 30frames?

i screen shot a whip pan and didn’t see any interlace artifacting.

I had a PAL version of a DV 3CCD camcorder and you could shoot 25p in a 50i wrapper where the two fields were from the same frame instead of having a temporal offset. It worked well if you had SW that supported it, and poorly if it did not. According to B&H the 100b does:
In 24p mode, images from the CCD can be 2:3 pulldown-converted (24p Mode) or 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted (24p Advance Mode) and recorded onto tape in the standard 60i TV format.

The Canon XL2 was considered fake progressive at the time, if i recall, but have the larger sensor for letter box?

Just to be even more retro, i’m not going to google fact check.

Both cameras shot true progressive over a 3:2 pulldown.... you're thinking of the Canon XL H1 and its 24f mode.
