No Birder. I mean 1080 horizontal lines. Each line is horizontal, and there are 1080 of them, stacked vertically.]]>Oct 13th 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/
That video guarantees I will never buy one of these. Oh, and the ugly exterior. Looks like a reflector. Yuck!]]>Oct 13th 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/
Resolution is a count of nodes per axis (x&y), and there are 1,080 vertical nodes/pixels. You are going against common wisdom that 1080P is always a vertical measurement.]]>Oct 13th 2009 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/
In fact, a majority of HD programming on broadcast and cable networks are using cameras with these sensors, so most of us rarely see true 1920x1080. Typically it only comes from shows shot on film.]]>Oct 13th 2009 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/Oct 13th 2009 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/You are going against common wisdom that 1080P is always a vertical measurement.

@Fieldcar: While I do agree its disingenuous, 1080P is a broadcast resolution, and as such is defined by the number of scanlines, not pixels.]]>Oct 14th 2009 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/Oct 13th 2009 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/Oct 13th 2009 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/jvcs-picsio-pocket-camcorder-does-fake-1080p-for-a-real-200/
