Skillfully dodged the issues. So clearly Dv100 and HDCAM are not HD in your
book. OK.

No, is not necessary. I know what HD is but I was surprised at your
elitism. HDV fullfils a role just as DV did.

I know of no one working in 1920x1080 4:4:4 10 bit. The preferred flavours
at the moment are HDCAM and DVCPROHD in the places I have worked. Full
raster HD is just too damned expensive for the extra quality (unless chroma
keying where it is absolutely necessary) one attains.

Anyone who compares the output from a $115,000 camera to a $3000 camera is a
cunt. Said a DOP to me recently....
