Some of my grown children are looking to get video cameras this Christmas.
With all the recent discussion of these Canon and Sony units, one question I
would have is for people like them, who basically shoot things such as
family events, the kids soccer games, etc. Budget considerations not
withstanding, is there still a place for SD cameras? Or do these cameras
have an option to shoot in an SD mode so that even if the user may not yet
have the computer horsepower to edit HDV, they can get a high quality camera
now and upgrade their editing software and computer horsepower over time to
move into the HDV arena?
