Looking to purchase a good video camera for use both in chasing and in our business. The question I have is this; Just how important is HD in the overall scheme of things? I have been looking at a few refurbished DV Camcorders: JVC Digital S DY-700
JVC GY-DV500U
JVC GY-DV5000U
Sony DSR-300A
Sony DSR-500WSL
The Panasonic Supercam
I even looked at the analog Panasonic WV-F700 as they are dirt cheap nowdays, but I would prefer to stick with the mini-dv or digital Beta units. I also have looked at the Canon XL1S. So my question...considering the price of one of these last gen DV cams is about the same as a good medium to high end consumer HD camcorder, am I just totally insane for wanting to go with the DV cam vs HD?
