I noticed that my canon HV20 has the ability to shoot in widescreen, with a 16.9 aspect ratio while still recording in SD. Is there any reason or disadvantages to shooting in widescreen? I'm just thinking of all the new gadgets coming out like appleTV that are allowing people to watch videos on

Most editing software packages provide capture and timeline/sequence presets for working with 16:9. Make sure you set them correctly before you start. Common square-pixel SD export resolutions for 16:9: 854x480 (note that this still involves some upscaling due pixel aspect difference - there's

Hi Heath, The new Sony XDCAM EX1 is what I would recommend. For low light, a bigger sensor is better, so the EX1 has a 1/2 inch sensor compared to most 1/3 sensor cameras. It records onto Express Cards but Sony's variation called Sxs. They are talking about allowing any Express Cards.

Just a data point: some of us HAVE had serious problems with long-GOP compression in HDV. But again, it all depends on what sort of work you do. Worth noting that the high quality 24P setting on the EX1 uses an extra 10 mb/s of bandwidth in addition to a slightly smaller GOP, which should make
