Hold on a minute. This sounds a lot like the megapixel race.

If the computer does the job for you now, it will do the job for you in
18 months as well - regardless of what comes out next. This is similar
to worrying about how many megapixels the next generation of cameras
will have. If 6, 8, or 10 are doing the job for you now, then they will
be just as good 10 years from now.

The only factor in video worth worrying about is the ability to handle
HD. So find out which systems can do that, and then get one of those and
edit. HD won't be replaced for a long time.
