Nobody should be wasting money on interlaced crap.]]>Feb 9th 2009 4:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/
I've had the Panasonic SD9 for a year now, and will probably upgrade to this.

However, I've shot all my footage in 1080i (50fps) purely because that looks best for the sort of stuff you tend to film with a camcorder. And it looks great btw. There is a progressive mode on mine, the cinema style 24p, but that just can't keep up with camcorder-esque motion.]]>Feb 9th 2009 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/Feb 8th 2009 6:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/Feb 8th 2009 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/You wasted 0.000000000000000001% of the internet

It does not matter that much for what I need a bigger sensor for. I prefer a bigger sensor in regards to shallower depth of field, and low light support. Having three of them is mostly useful for color representation -- and it just downsamples then down to 4:2:0 anyway. So yeah, I prefer one big sensor, than 3 small ones.]]>Feb 8th 2009 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/Feb 8th 2009 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/Feb 8th 2009 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/
And this camera only has a 12x zoom? I wish it had a 48x-96x. Didn't they use to have 120x zoom video cameras?

And I think Apple should work with some Hollywood directors and TV producers on coming out with easy how-to videos for shooting good movies like they are doing with the Garage Band lessons. Weddings, kids sporting events, vacations, road trips, camping/hiking trip, how-to video, and basic lighting and framing tips.]]>Feb 8th 2009 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/08/panasonics-hdc-hs300-hd-camcorder-reviewed-thoroughly-enjoyed/

Not possible with bigger sensors.
