Are Three Chip Camera's Really Required?

Hi Kids -

I have a Sony SR11 - It shoots in HD (1080i) but while a very good consumer camera, it's only a single imager - a nice one at 1/3" and very responsive - but one chip nevertheless.

I have seen quite a few non-hd, not-too-great looking clips up here that were taken by folks.

Question is does Pond5 really require footage to be shot by a 3 chipper or can I post my stuff and not expect problems?

Thanks.

3 chips is recommended, but hardly required. There are quite a few shooters out there shooting withthe Canon HV20 and HV30, both single chip cams.

If you were shooting SD, you might be better of getting a newer 3 chip cam, but with HD you should be fine. Within the limitations of the camera, obviously, but that much is true for all cameras out there.

Yup many don't have 3 chips, but the HV20 / HV30 I believe is a little different animal. I might be wrong but I think it is a CMOS single HD chip similar to their better digital cameras. Probably a little better than the standard single chip camera. Submit a few and let the curators decide, just make sure you list the camera model in the keywording so buyers know what they are buying. Good luck.
