| A quick comparison between the Canon Rebel T2i and the Panasonic HVX200. The tests mainly focus on color and depth of field, but there's a panning (rolling shutter) and an audio test too. The audio test was supposed to be of both cameras, but oddly I lost the audio on my HVX footage, so you just get the Canon side. I hate to admit this, but some of the rack focus tests are a bit weak, in that the zooms on the two cameras were so different that I had to get much closer to my subject to get a rack focus with the Canon, so if you notice any usual difference in perspective between the two that's why. Obviously the DOF is variable on the Canon since it has interchangeable lenses, but I only had one lens. Look carefully at the hand-held shots of the Canon. You'll see evidence of the "rolling shutter" along the edges of the picture, even when it's not moving that fast. Surprisingly, the quick pans don't show rolling shutter as bad as I thought they would. I also took footage at night with the Canon, but not the HVX. The T2i takes awesome pictures in low-light, but that's kind of known already, so posting it here seemed redundant. |
