I'm also wondering, now that everyone has trashed their VCRs and got DVD
players(notice:players NOT recorders) and the big ones are still in a format
war, HDDVD and blu ray are to come.I personally don't give a damn if I see
the silly news on HD or regular PAL.I also got (one of the last to be
produced) analogue 8mm camcorder just because it came for 400 euros with
the HI-8 for 500 euros and a good sony mini dv for more than 800 in cash.I
personally don't find that great a disantvantage that in the one or two
movies I shoot a year (usually concerts my sister plays in or presentations)
the people involved will get a VHS cassete instead of a dvd.The story goes
on, because my computer is a celeron with only a cd burner, and is very
unlikely to capture digital video without major upgrades...
