The last one is technically a consumer camera, but still shoots 1080i.
In saying that, the filmmakers "dumbed down" the very polished look of the source material to make it look like it was shot with the typical 1-chip miniDV camera. There were some shots that used the analog 1-chip cameras, but they were used sparingly.
