"Resolution In layman terms, there are 1920x 1080 pixels in the f900 camera. However these are sampled (or compressed) to 1440x1080 for the HDcam recording. Lucas films croped the center portion of the rectangle shaped picture (aspect ratio of 1:77) to project a anamorphic widescreen picture with an aspect ratio1:2.35. He ends up with a camera resolution of around just 800 lines from the original 1080.
Latest Star Wars uses SR recording so full 1920 x1080 pixels are recorded.
Interestingly an elaborate study undertaken by the ITU in 2001 concluded that perfectly exposed and processed 35mm film when projected in a good cinema has a resolution of just 600-750 lines."

So I guess the Horisontal resolution is sorta liveable with all the current HD cams, be it uncompressed, HDV, DVCPRO HD, if this info is correct.
I'd love to get back to some other user experiences and examples rather than the current state of: "this camera has (enter number here) better/worse (enter feature here) than (enter camera and brand here).
Actually I'm not going to shoot horizontal lines and test charts with my HVX
I find the P2 discussion slightly more interesting, especially when I read posts on real-world use and how people who cannot afford 10 8gb cards solve the shooting day before cineporter-like solutions arrive.
So finally: The Suggestion (drum roll!):
Could any thread that actually relates to someone who actually use the cam we're discussing here have be marked "RW" or something in the head, or could the forum get another heading for "Real world experience with HVX-200)?
I actually find the number-game somewhat interesting, but it would be interesting to distinguish threads that relate to actual use from threads that are mainly speculative...
Just my 2c
Cheers!
