let me be more specific
i was referencing picture quality
(as a tech)
i remember and was referencing in my mind
when hd first came out
and the little (panasonic) display they had at NAB
the screens footage was compared to film - like a side by side
(but they were manipulative with the footage i think)
bcause i have worked in hd
i am aware of it's picture quality limitations
their dispaly was so funny
it had a mock up of the cam
made of wood
