I would put out a compact SD camera with 24P and progressive scan that HAD 16x9. I would be rich beyond my wildest dreams. Please, PANASONIC, SONY, JVC or whomever, step up to the plate ;D
if I was a camera manufacturer, I would concentrate all my efforts on sub $600 miniDV cameras with single 1/4" chip designs, small 20x zoom lenses and cartoony well-designed touch screen user interfaces.
