I see many heated debates here about HD vs HDV. I am more of a
consumer, but serious consumer perhaps. You guys don't reccomend HDV,
but might you reccomend HDV over DV for consumer use? I saw mention
about motion bluriness and one of the main things i will be capturing
is ski footage. For me, small and light camara is essential...but if
its going to be stuttery or jittery in any way..then its a moot point.
Also, I need to be able to capture high quality still images from the
video footage. that seems to imply that a progressive scan might be
better for my purposes..

All that being said...what camaras are out now that might fit my bill,
under $2k and what do we know is announced for the next 6-12 months
that might be worth waiting for?

Any thoughts from you pros?
