Scenic National Parks: Crown Jewels Collection [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers

Scenic National Parks: Crown Jewels Collection [Blu-ray] is simply stunning. My dream vacation is camping on a warm (but not hot) week in one of our national parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite or Grand Canyon. This Blu-ray collection gives just a glimpse of the grandiose sights available at these three national parks. Having visited the Grand Canyon, I can say this is an accurate visualization. If you love nature, you'll love this set.

This is a Travel Brochure - Smok'n - Stuttgart
This is a travel brochure that claims to be in HD but you can plainly see there are portions in HD and other parts in SD (These parts look like they were taken off a DVD). The HD quality is less than impressive. I wanted to see more of the parks and not of the local hotels or what I might want to spend my money on if I should go to the park. I agree with the other review, get something from BBC and you'll see the difference in quality.

no higher def than the dvd - Kevin E. Severson - Sioux Falls, SD United States
This was NOT filmed in HD. It was produced with normal film, and then put on Blu-ray.
It's grainy, and it could have been superbly beautiful, save for Ken Burns' disdain for digital video.
I've seen this on DVD, and I bought the Blu-ray, and there is no difference in picture on a blu-ray player that upconverts dvd, or plays the Blu-ray edition.

Ken? I want my money back. Coulda bought the dvd! Bought the blu-ray, and it's grainy as a 4:3 tv with a videotape.

Maybe next time he'll use an HD camera with digital recording. But I doubt it.
