Response to 16x9 once again, along with progressive mode

from Andrew Fetchko (atf3635@rit.edu)
Actually.... YOU DO NOT want to shoot with the 16:9 mode if you are blowing up to film because you will be losing horizontal resolution.... This is because the XL1 and just about every other prosumer camera out there fakes 16:9. To really do it you need a camera with true 16:9 CCD's. The XL1 aint one of those. To see one of them check out SONY's DSR-500WS.

As for the second part.... the frame mode. Actually you don't always want to use 1/60 of a second... It depends on how much light is present, what lens, how fast the action is, and the look you want. Don't cut off your options so easily. As to the cinelook comments on this page.... I agree wholeheartedly! Also checkout Cinemotion by the same manufacturer.
