Superior Video Productions - Digital Video Camera Comparison

SEE THE DIFFERENCE!

A video camera's chips are the sensors used to create a video image.
Below is a comparison between our 2/3" chip video cameras and other 1/3" chip video cameras.

Since our cameras were designed for 16:9 widescreen televisions, the resolution is outstanding compared with our competitors who use cameras designed for 4:3 (old style) televisions.

The larger the chip size, the more light and color information can be recorded,
resulting in a much sharper, brighter and detailed video.

We mounted a Sony VX-2100 (1/3" chips) next to our Sony DSR-500WS (2/3" chips) so that we could show you the difference in picture quality.
