[quote author=sandro link=topic=98.msg943#msg943 date=1324997502] that the dynamic range is worse there's no doubt since it's a smaller sensor, but that it resolves more resolution is real [/quote] You are confusion sharpening with resolution. Sorry about the different FOV:s. Also the hx9v at f3.3 has extremely deep dof. : Hx9v (no settings to adjust, you can see a lot of sharpening halos): [url=http://hmcindie.pp.fi/hx9v/Sony_hx9v_1.jpg]http://hmcindie.pp.fi/hx9v/Sony_hx9v_1.jpg[/url] Canon 7d (sharpened, iso 1250 at f6) [url=http://hmcindie.pp.fi/hx9v/Canon_7d_iso_1250_sharpened.jpg]http://hmcindie.pp.fi/hx9v/Canon_7d_iso_1250_sharpened.jpg[/url] Canon 7d (no sharpening) [url=http://hmcindie.pp.fi/hx9v/Canon_7d_iso_1250_no_sharpening.jpg]http://hmcindie.pp.fi/hx9v/Canon_7d_iso_1250_no_sharpening.jpg[/url] Sony hx9v also has horrible compression. Very bad. 1080p50 here in pal-land. It breaks up even in moderate movement with macroblocks everywhere. Movement doesn't even have to be that high. The 7d actually holds up pretty ok with fast motion. I can only guess what a hacked gh2 looks like. Have one on order but enjoying my 7d in the meantime. The macroblocking and shots of detailed areas that are in motion always go into a mush because of the compression on the hx9v. Huge oversharpening artefacts. I shot a lot of acrobatic movements with the Canon 7d and when I used the hx9v...it just looked all around worse. Though one absolutely amazing thing with the HX9v is that it's always in my pocket :)

Well the HX9V that I have is definitely not that sharp compared to my 7d. Or is it? I've been using them together on the same shoots and occasionally used the material out of the HX9 but I've always enjoyed my 7d way more. The hx9 looks oversharpened and with a limited dynamic range. Here though it looks the best after GH2. Odd. Gonna have to run some tests now.

So how big is the crop really? The sonys are 1.5, Canon DSLRs are 1.6 and the GH2 is supposedly somewhere around 1.85. Where does the videomode crop go? Theres been so much smack about the crop but no one has said what it compares to.
