So, for reasons pertaining to the difficulties of pre-production and budget restraints, I have a much easier time getting a 35mm lens adapter for a standard def Canon XL-2 than a Hi-Def Panasonic HVX200. This is for a short, 5 minute film, which I will be submitting to film festivals, but which will most likely enjoy most of its exhibition life on a standard def dvd with the rest of my reel, or online in a compressed upstreaming format, like on Vimeo. This being the case, how much of a fool would I be for opting for the standard def over the hi-def in this scenario?
(The lens adapter is the Letus35 Ultimate for the Panasonic HVX 200 and the PS Technik for the Canon XL-2. Both will be used in conjunction with Nikon AI lenses. Shooting is entirely indoors with tungsten lighting.)
