None truth to those rumours at all. In fact if you intend to shoot HD
and then output to SD DVD you will get a better quality product
especially if you use graphics. You will not be limited by the 4:1:1 or
4:2:0 colour sampling of DV material i.e. the total shafting of graphics.
A well shot HDV project down-converted to SD DVD can approach the
quality of the typical hollywood DVD in a way that shooting DV and going
to DVD never can match.
Seriously check out the HVR-V1. Utterly gorgeous image - the best HDV
camcorder yet in my opinion.
