$2000 seems a little pricey for a consumer-grade handycam.

Hi Def though. That is list, not street price. But something like this on the market and being sold at Best Buy is going to slam home the need for the rest of us to offer HD or be left behind by the company nerd who says "I can shoot Hi Def". It happened to me in computers 15 years ago.

Yes, but when your SD footage looks better than their HD footage, what do you tell them then?

The JVC HD has been out for a loooong time at a little over $2K. Does it fly off the shelves?

Almost bought one myself, pre-DVX.

Then I read the brochure and realized I wasn't a complete idiot.
