    Hi everyone. DSLR’s are getting more and more popular every day. But i keep running into non-believers who admit that the footage looks fantastic in the view finder and on youtube but they claim that if you blow it up and project it it will look awful compared to a traditional HD camera. Is this a snobby misconception or is there some truth to this that i don’t understand?

    I’m not sure if that’s true, Charles. Perhaps the artifacts are a little different when each of the blow ups are compared. But the issue may be moot now that there are software solutions that enable video enlargement up to 8K from lower res footage. Check out the post I just did on this subject in this Equipment sub-forum.

    Paul, do you think the A7siii or the Canon 5d Mark iii has the best HD format?
