Students at RFS work with Sony DSR 450 WSPL Camera the for their practical filmmaking purposes.
Film Like Shooting with Progressive Mode

Incorporating Sony Power HAD EX CCDs, the DSR-450 WSPL generates progressive images of 25P, delivering outstanding clarity as well as cinematic look.
The Sony DSR-450WSP 4:3/16:9 widescreen switchable camcorder is the successor to the DSR-570 DVCAM camcorder. The price remains the same with a street price of around £7,500 plus vat for the camera body.

The model number progression from the old DSR-570 to the new DSR-450 initially causes confusion by going numerically backwards and being closer to the model number of the non widescreen version, the DSR-400, which is a more logically numbered replacement for the DSR-390. The DSR-400 is essentially the same camera as the DSR-450  less money the camera is 4:3 aspect only and does not have the progressive scan 25p recording option which is new to the DSR-450.

New Upgrade Features
sony dsr-450wspSony claim a “dramatic” improvement in imaging quality in their marketing literature with the DSR-450’s new 3 x 2/3-inch Power HAD EX CCD. The improvements include an increase in the signal to noise ratio from 61dB to 63dB and smear being improved from -120dB to -140dB. Low light performance remains the same with sensitivity quoted as F11 at 2000 lux. The VTR records to either large or small DV/DVCAM tapes in DVCAM as before, as well as a new option of recording to DV, which provides a massive recording time of 276 minutes from a DVCAM 184 tape. Small print from the DSR-450 brochure states that “The transition from cut to cut may not be smooth when recording in DV (SP) format” Having recorded over 6 hours in DV mode I have not personally noticed any drop out or problem with any scene changes.More Details
