- I was curious; a friend of mine has a flyer/betacam setup. He is VERY picky and meticulous
- when it comes to video quality (some might even say "anal"). He told me that a friend of his
- brought over his new DV camera and they went out and shot some footage in the same areas with
- both the DV camera and a Betacam camera. He told me that he felt that the DV camera was an
- excellent bargain but when comparing the two he still felt he could tell the difference between
- the Betacam footage and the DV footage (the betacam being the better). He still felt that the DV
- camera had advantages based on size, cost and quality but still had inferior quality compared to
- Betacam. Anybody else had any experience with this?
