Just beaware that HD with it's increased resolution will be able to show
more noise when displayed on a bigger screen.
A number of our clients are not seeing increased noise in the field due to
display size limitations and then get a shock in the edit suite when they
see it for real. So take care with gain as it's hard to match shots if you
change the gain while shooting.
Ideally try and do some test shots at various gain settings and lighting
conditions to get the balance you want.
Always view the material in HD on a decent reasonable size HD screen or
you'll miss noise.
Good luck.
