I'm sure it can be done technically. No one is really anonymous on the Internet. But it is not as easy as it looks in the movies so they would probably need to have a good reason for taking the...

My previous remark was actually intended to be a tiny bit sarcastic. Still, admitting openly that you are cheating on use tax might not be the smartest thing to do.

No need to spend extra $$ for a high-definition camcorder. For web pages you will even have to downconvert standard resolution clips, unless you have a lots of bandwidth and storage on your web...

That's right. You can edit HDV even with the current version of iMovie, not to mention FCP, unless you have some old obsolete version.

I don't think you would notice any difference between the two. You can save the 20 bucks for something else. What would make a difference, though, is a Firewire (a.k.a. IEEE 1394 or iLink) cable, if...

You can burn high definition video to HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disks. Authoring software and burners are already available. You might want to fork out $900 for a burner or not, but that is not the main...

These clips are not really SD. Both are progressive, whereas SD video is interlaced. All they show is that HDV might be a better source to obtain 480p material, which kind of makes sense, because...

I agree with some of your points. Using a tripod, or even a monopod is highly recommended. The footage looks much better. It is a must for any type of commercial work.
However, it is not always...

I don't agree. When you convert HD to SD you get a regular NTSC signal, which is like... any other NTSC signal. What matters is the quality of the broadcast. HD broadcast is always digital, SD not...

Good point. Using viewfinder for handheld shots gives extra stability which is even more important in case of high definition camcorders. I use the viewfinder quite often, mostly because of the...

At the current rate the reviews are rolling out the HC7 review will probably be posted after the model is discontinued.

You call it a "review"? It is just a paragraph with the only useful info that UX7 has a 1/3" sensor, a multifunction dial and a mic jack. Where are all those "first impressions"?

I would not recommend using dual layer DVDs for archival purposes. They are not as reliable as single layer DVDs.
