DVD camcorders are now recording in high definition TV. For example, see
here about the Sony HDR-UX1E :

I think the quality of the result of this camcorder would be very good. Sony
says that:
"AVCHD is a revolutionary High Definition digital camcorder format for
recording 1080i and 720p signals using MPEG-4 AVC and Dolby Digital 5.1ch or
Linear PCM for video and audio codecs. Play back your footage on a HDTV,
compatible DVD players and PC DVD drives with the bundled Player for AVCHD
software."
DVD camcorders are getting better, and I would be quite happy to own this
camcorder, even though I have owned miniDV camcorders for several years.
Sure, I don't have a professional editing interest, but for home use,
holidays, and the family, I don't think many people would be dissatisfied
with the results of the new high definition DVD camcorders. And I'm sure
such people would also be happy with the editing capabilities provided by
these HD DVD camcorders. There must be a solid market for these DVD
camcorders, otherwise why would Sony (and others) keep selling them and even
produce HD DVD camcorders?
Cheers, Jim
