Having said that i love engadget so i don't know what to believe]]>May 4th 2006 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/
Common sony, put a faster CPU and bus in it and let it record 1Mp res from that 3mp sensor (ie. 720p HD).]]>May 4th 2006 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/
I've used the JVC and found that the MOD files are simply MPG files in disguise. Renaming the extension is all that is required to "convert" them to mpeg.

I read comments that doing this would cause me to lose the audio track, but it didn't happen.]]>May 4th 2006 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/
Till then, no dice Sony.]]>May 4th 2006 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/
Firstly, the difference between 720p and 1080p is hardly noticeable.

And 1080p, I bet you don’t even have a TV which has 1080p capabilities?

And Sony do make a 1080p camera...it costs just under $100k (as most film production companies use this).
Good luck with getting some discount....

On a 60" or better television the difference between 720 and 1080 is very noticeable to people with a sharp set of eyes.

My current television does 1080i and my next one to be purchased (when the current one outlives its useful life) will be 1080p.

Just like we will likely see digital SLR bodies at a $399 price point within a few years I believe that we will see high resolution HD consumer camcorders at prices that seem dirt cheap compared to what is available today.]]>May 4th 2006 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/
Your point about having it on such a large TV is most likely true. As most consumers here only purchased something aroung 32" - Its hardly noticable...

You have a 60".....that must be a beast....to watch and move!!]]>May 4th 2006 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/
Ya, it's a big ass RPTV but the picture on it is quite good (though not up to snuff when compared to the new LCOS and top of the line DLP sets).

I've read several articles that indicate that the break point for noticing 720 to 1080 improvements is about 40" diagonal size on the screen. The larger than 40" the screen is the more noticeable it is, and on 52", 60" and 70" sets it is very noticeable.

I think more consumers will have sets in this size in the coming years and be much more discriminating about the quality of their source material, especially when they see great 1080 material like some of the movies and series that HBO does in HD.

Peace out]]>May 4th 2006 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/sonys-dcr-sr100-disk-based-camcorder-reviewed/
