Standard Definition (SD) Video v.s High Definition (HD) Video

I just wanted to post a comparison of HD (High-definition) Video V.S. SD Video (Standard Definition) - Below is a video we shot with our Sony HVR Z7U camcorder. This video below (since Vimeo doesn't allow embedding of pure HD movies) is HD downconverted down to a Standard Definition output. To view the pure HD Version - click here

Below is an older clip that we shot with a Canon XL2 Camera - which is a Standard Definition Camera (Still very good $6000 camera in its own right - but it only shoots in Standard Definition).

As you can see, the top video shot with the HD camera is more vibrant and has less pixelation than the SD version. This is even more noticeable when you view these videos on TV.
