LOL! Yeah, I guess I should take mine back to Sony and complain that
it's only 1440x1080 like HDCAM and not the full 1920x1080 of 'real' HD
video.

Which, in 99% of cases is utterly irrelevant: probably more like 100%
of cases for ENG. I've shot a lot of HDV now and not once has anyone
complained about the sound.
