Would the HDV Z1 be OK instead?
It depends. The Z1 is certainly better than the PD170 for widescreen DVCam production, but it does not have the ability to add a professional lens. The built in lens is OK but still displays slight chromatic fringing etc which can soften the image. Remember, the Canon J11 wide angle lens on a DSR 570 costs around £10,000: more than the camera itself! You will never get that quality, or go as wide angle on the Z1. On the other hand, for a lot of situations, the Z1 will look fine for UK TX in situations where DVCam shooting has been agreed on. It still has to be operated by a competent person though: out of focus, under or overexposed shaky shots will not look good on any format. In HDV mode, the Z1 offers amazing pictures of a far higher resolution than the DSR, but if you are not making a high definition show it may not be noticeable in the final version. So should we shoot in DVCam or HDV on the Z1? We are changing our original viewpoint that if you are finishing in SD then shoot DVCa
