I thought I was presenting my concept of what HD is!

There's no elitism there.. Don't mistake my disdain for HDV as elitism.
Surely none meant towards my friend Specs. .

Lots of people. D-5 Decks and a Decklink Pro card will get you there I
believe. Although I don't own one. .
but that wasn't the issue.

Depends on where you are I suppose. In Los Angeles it is not a rarity. But
you do agree that full res HD is not comparable to HDV. Which is the only
point we were trying to make actually.

ouch. Of course I was not doing the comparison.

Ty wrote "That would be incorrrect. The Z1 is HDV. HDV and HD are NOT the
same."

He wrote that in response to mmaker saying: ..."guess the plus-point is
that the Z1 is HD, "
And I supported that notion by attempting to point out some of the
differences. Which are vast.

Then you asked me what I consider HD.. And here we are with you calling me a
cunt. In a roundabout way. Which has even less to do with the point of the
thread.
