Both. If you could afford an HDV camera, it is also backward compatible
with DV, so you could shoot either way. Or, you could shoot everything
in HD, realizing that that is how we are going in short order, and
convert to DV in post. It's just a consideration, that a DV camera may
be useful for only two or three more years, before HD takes over
everything - which it eventually certainly will.
If, on the other hand, you will be shooting a lot of DV with your new
camera, and you can amortize its cost in a couple of years with your
fees, then it may be worth it.
