Response to Panasonic AG-EZ30 vs. Sony TR-900

DV, MiniDV, DVCAM, DVCpro & Sony's DV8 all have the same lines of resolution. It is a protocal format. Check out the site www.adamwilt.com. It explains the differences. So the question becomes how good an image will the charged, coupled device, (CCD) give you. Answer: any camera that will shoot in Progressive Scan Mode is superior to one shooting in fields. I believe the new sony TRV-700 3CCD will if you like Sony. Canon makes three cameras that will, the Elura; $1400, the Optura; $1240 from B&H, and the XL-1 @ $3700. However the only camera of that bunch with 3 CCD's is the XL-1. The image difference is only nominally better on 3 CCD's. Use AfterEffects of CineLook to do color corection and rendering and you'll look like a million bucks. Litterally. Brian Meade
