Ken I have given up on the CCI review capabilities. They persist in saying Panasonic has gain control when in fact the controls are much the same on Sony, Panasonic and Canon consumer cams except Sony foolishly doesn't indicate when gain starts on the display. They all need to have iris full open before gain starts so there is no independent gain. This continuous error on their part either says they don't understand or are biased to Panasonic!!!
I always add a little sharpening to the SR11 and XR500 when going to the encoder for SD DVD and I would prefer it this way as I have some level of control over sharpening. The same with the FX1 which I usually boost colour and sharpen too to give some more punch. Staying in HD I have not found the need so far but usually try and match the three cams usually involving some level and colour controls for some of the cuts.
