Not sure about that "more Px" comment...HD needs only ~2Mpx per frame - anything else is not used, although it might point to having a better lens / low-light performance etc. - but more pixels ....you won't need.
The SR11 appears to be ~2008 camcorder HD.... I suspect it uses a HDD, which after 9-years may fail.... whereas a more-modern camcorder without HDD is "probably" more reliable although there are no G'tees in life.
To add to Terfyn's WA comment too;
as I fail to understand why Mfr are so keen to show how wide their lenses will go*, since this makes the people smaller and outdoors....increase the sky ( giving exposure issues) and increase the grass ( giving colour-bias risk ). The whole point of a movie-camera is that it can move AS WELL AS the subjects.
If you need to include all the guests at a Wedding, say ( or the Home Team at football ), then arrange them further back and then pan-closer to see the detail.
Because of the ~2Mpx / frame of HD, the definition is a compromise... it may look sharp from a normal viewing distance but that's the way our brains interpret the movement of pixels between frames. Look at a single-frame (in a photo-Editor) and you can see the break-up.
The only two situations IMHO where a Wide-view are acceptable:- is Indoors, when it's wet outside, or the interior of a building, ( like a cathedral) when the "whole-space" is magnificent.
Both should be held only briefly, then cut to detail so the viewer can see for themselves the content.
Cheers.
* BTW one reason may be it assists in removing User-wobbles and means the aperture is able to bring-in more light, = ideal for Birthday parties, etc.
Personally, I'd prefer a few-more "length" on the Zoom..... We are only now seeing pure Optical Zooms on 4K which are 24x.
While some Sony's are still being sold with far less.
But still, Mfrs push how WIDE their lens will go... |
