HV30 - what is the actual format?

I use larger broadcast cameras usually, but want to buy a Canon HV30 for personal trips etc. Is this camera format what I know of as HDV2 (as opposed to JVC's HDV1 which is 1280 x 720), and if so does AVID or FCP read it as such? I would hate to buy something I cant digitize..

Best,

Geoffrey

The HV20 and HV30 would be what is called HDV2. (1080i HDV rather than the 720p HDV format)
