Indeed, David, JVC's flavor of HDV does 720p while Sony's (and now
Canon's as well) does 1080i. I had also intended to mention this, but
again was pressed for time.
As to acquisition frame sizes, it probably should be noted that the
CCDs in the Sony HVR-Z1-series camcorders actually capture only 960
pixels per scan line and use pixel offset magic to get to 1440.
Many of those wishing to shoot HD on a very tight budget seem to be
waiting for the Panasonic AG-HVX200, which is currently scheduled to
begin shipping to dealers on December 29, 2005. It's a DVCPRO HD
product, not an HDV product, but does both 720p and 1080i and some
independent filmmakers will probably like its 24p mode of operation
although those who desire 24p and can live with HDV's MPEG-2
compression may find that the JVC GY-HD100 720p HDV camcorder (19.7
Mbps with a GOP length of six) meets their needs.
