my thinking is 21st century - hence buying a hdv camera. it is also
professional in as much as i:

a. after demo'ing it, i knew i would not depend on this camera for good
audio.

b. i bought it because i needed 16:9 for the national broadcaster i
string for, and who is quite at ease with interviews recorded on it.

c. on commercial shoots i rarely ever use any sync sound other than for
ambient purposes.

d. if i was still 'serious', and not retired, i wouldn't even dream of
hdv as being an alternative, i'd be looking at hdcam, or at least digi
beta 16:9

e. finally, in the 21st century the main game is returning the biggest
dividend to your shareholders with the least costs. the v1 does it for
me. i doubt sony is any different than any other corporation with
getting away with what it can, and at the same time, trying to protect
it's product range from internal competition.
