EngadgetHD has an interesting piece about Clint Eastwood, saying that he "admits that he, alongside a bevy of experts, ran a series of tests between scenes shot in HD versus film, and while he couldn't quite "reach the black levels" nor "control the atmosphere" as well as he wanted with HD cams, even he admits they came awfully close. He claimed the biggest dig against current HD rigs was their size, citing a need for ultra-fine HD capturing machinery that's uber-small as well before he could shoot an entire film with it."
He said that he was very hopeful about HD's place in the future of film-making, even though it's not quite there yet.
