As much as reading that gave me a headache I am actually kind of curious where he got that understanding from. Is there some young earth creationism school of thought for home video now or something?

The vast - and I mean VAST - majority of consumers don't understand how something shot on film can look as good as - or better than - HD video.  If it wasn't made digitally, it's not as good, period.

I've encountered this many, many, many times, both with members of my family (*cough*my parents*cough*) and complete strangers in many different cities (at a Sony Style store in Vegas, a Best Buy in Chicago, the list goes on).  To the average consumer, film = old, blurry, grainy, inferior, and digital = crisp, clear, lifelike, and superior.
