DVL-Digest 898 - Postings: Index Comparison between PD-150 and XL1 web site? - (2) Lens Ramping Comparison between PD-150 and XL1 web site? - Adam Wilt ...so according to this comment, this would mean the new PD150 and > VX2000 are now a better generation of optical stabilizer than the > vx1000?...would the pd150 have the same stabilizer as the canon XL1? I don't know if the stabilizer on the PD150 is hugely better than the one on the VX1000; both seem to work pretty well in my experience. It's not the same as on the XL1. Canon augments the rate sensors with image tracking info a la DIS/EIS, which makes for improved stability on quasi-static shots but also causes "stickiness" on gentle camera movements like the start of pans and tilts. It's a matter of personal preference which method (pure rate sensing on the Sonys, rates + tracking on the Canons) is "better." [FWIW neither Canon nor Sony originated optical stabilization using fluid-filled prisms. Juan de la Cierva's 1962 Dynalens design has that honor!] Cheers, Adam Wilt Comparison between PD-150 and XL1 web site? - Adam Wilt > ] excessively enhanced image gets plagued with mosquitoes.

You lose the > reason for going from an XL1 to a Sony PD 150 . . . sharpness. But the PD150 with sharpness down a notch or two is still quite a bit sharper than the XL1 is, even with the XL1's relatively high (and fixed) level of enhancement. Granted, both are severly undersampled on the CCD; neither one is a DSR-300 or DSR-500 or JVC DV500 or the new Panasonic... but neither one costs as much, either!
