Let's see,
The full HD Sony HDR CX-210 has a sensor of 1.3 megapixels effective resolution. To make the video footage full HD (2 megapixels,) the camera interpolates the 1.3 megapixels into 2 megapixels, thus making the picture fuzzy and it looks over-processed.
Now, the full HD Sony HDR CX-220 (which is cheaper than the 210,) has a sensor of 2.2 megapixels effective resolution. So it doesn't have to interpolate to make the footage full HD, and we expect the footage to be much sharper than the CX-210.
But, reviews say that CX-220's picture quality is much worse than the CX-210. Some say the 220's footages are very un-sharp. Why is this? The sensor produces more pixels than a full HD resolution.
Could you please explain?
Thank you.
