Planet Earth (UK version)

[Yuzo]

thanks for the feedback guys,

saw it in tesco's yesterday, but held back due to feedback of poor picture quality.

i read this on play.com;

"now apparently Planet earth was the first documentary to be filmed almost entirely in HD, i would disagree. within the first 5 episodes (these are the ones i have got round to watching on blu-ray) i would say only about 30mins of footage appears to be shot in full HD with these scenes looking crystal clear. but a lot of the time the image is very grainy and that presents a lack of detail almost as if you are watching the upconverted DVD version.."

There are a lot of dark scenes and dark scenes require a higher ISO and therefore more noise. The rest of it is great though. 30 mins of HD indeed....
