Interesting.. at least through the end of the 90s Proctor and Gamble  
had a
longstanding policy of only shooting Super16 for any of their  
commercials,
and their production capacity/load was massive (count all their  
products).
I wonder if now they specify only HD Video, and downconvert for their
commercials.
