even miniDV meets up with 35mm film when it comes to image quality on TV
broadcast so why fool around with HDV or HD or anything more expensive . .
after all the broadcast side will set the lines of resolution limit not the
miniDV, DVD, BetaCAM, etc.

now if your talking HD perhaps it's a different story . . however . . just
two weeks ago we sat two monitors of identical types in a mall, played SD 16
x 9, 600+ lines on one monitor and HD 1080i on the other and surveyed over
800 people and less than 4% could truly indentify the actual difference by
image description to conclude the HD picture. don't get me wrong, about
half said that the HD was better but the other half said the SD 700 was
better but could not conclude how or why just one looked better than the
other but the 4% did clearly state why. the store was shocked at the result
but we weren't because our own tests concluded the same findings. comparing
higher res SD to HD is a wash to the viewer. sure the video numbers say
otherwise but the viewer can't see it. now go 320 lines and sure there's a
big difference.
