I have seen footage shot from both by professionals not gonzo porn makers and the hdv is weak.

Read what I wrote again about the features Tony..
Then feel free to browse through google for a few hours and read up on the camera... CineFrame is a wonderful thing if 24p is really necessary (however realistically it isn't used much for what we do on the web, if at all).
"That said, there are plenty of reasons why even high-end pros might be interested in a closer look at this highly capable hardware. Among its list of new and unique features, perhaps the most interesting concept is the way Sony has tipped its hat to the many shops still using good old standard-definition DV. The HVR-Z1U (heck, let?s just call it the Z1 for brevity?s sake, with apologies to BMW and Minolta) is format agnostic, at least when DV is concerned, because it can record and play back HDV and DVCam in all its flavors including 60i, 50i, 30 frames, 25 or 24 frames. But the most impressive feat of this camcorder is its magnificent HD footage."
Then read on down below that where it references the info for 24p...

"The HVR-Z1 is unique in its ability to record HDV and DVCAM images at 60i, 50i, 30, 25 or 24 frames per second-in either SD or HD. Switchable 60/50 capability is an advantage for anyone who needs to satisfy clients in both 60i/50i and NTSC/PAL HD and SD applications."

I wonder now why it took almost a month to even find one of these in the US when they were first released. All the camera stores that advertised them could not keep them in stock because studios all over the country had pre-ordered 5 and 10 at a time. Most reality TV series are shot with these cameras, a few motion pictures have also been shot with them. I would motion to say that if it was a shitty camera, and HDV was a crappy format, that a lot of people have blown a lot of money on a lot of new Z1's over the last few months...
I'm too tired tonight to go back and forth, but I will swing back by tomorrow to finish this post up.
