Izzy Video 074 – High Def vs. Standard Def

izzyvideo74

In this video I show some differences between the imagery from a High Definition camera and the imagery from a Standard Definition camera.

I used my Canon GL-2 to shoot the standard definition footage, and I used my brand new Sony XDCAM EX to shoot the high definition footage.

Do I like the new camera? I love it!

A simple, but powerful, video.

I know this video is old, but I just saw it tonight for the first time. I love stuff like this. If you have a website, please consider embedding it.
