It's not going to happen, at least in the short term.  DVD has two problems:  
video is of lower quality and it is not readily editable.  DVD recorders are  
also big and bulk, and DVDs hold only 30% of the data that can be  
accomodated on a miniDV tape (20% if the miniDV tape is used in LP mode). 
 
Moreover, Sony has made a signficant committment to miniDV in it's  
higher-end consumer and prosumer camcorders.  Its HDV offerings are all  
miniDV, as are it's prosumer offerings.
