It's a common misconception that there will be a complete switch to HD in 2009. NOT TRUE! The switch is to digital broadcasting only. There is NO mandate to broadcast only in HD. SD programing will continue, for quite a while.

A digital SD camera will be every bit as useful in a digital SD broadcast world as it is today in an analog SD broadcast world.

[...]when Tv's going digital ( HD)
Just to specify, that is the misconception.
Analog TV = SD
Digital TV = SD or HD
As stated, there is no requirement for HDTV, only for DTV [which can be a multitude of formats] for full power TV broadcast in the USA after Feb 19th 2009.
Low-power TV stations aren't even required to switch off Analog then yet either.
