All else being equal, HD downconverted to SD usually looks better to me than
SD-shot material, but that doesn't mean NTSC (which has many artifacts not
necessarily found in SD), and it's worth bearing in mind that there is a HUGE
number of variables.
On a single camera, there might be hundreds of parameters that can be adjusted,
and that says nothing about lighting, set design and construction, costume
design and building, makeup, lens, etc.
Two video operators could deliver wildly different looking pictures from the
same camera shooting the same scene with the same lighting and the same camera
operator.
Noting differences is good. Deciding their cause is difficult at best.
TTFN,
Mark
