High-definition is great, I have been filming in hdv for a year. But from a busy producer's viewpoint it's a pain in the ass, frankly. It takes more care to light the scenes since one needs triple the amount of light to make it look great, you need more care with makeup, more computing power to process the video, more hard drive space to hold it, the editing is slightly trickier depending on what apps that you use and it takes much, much longer encode the finished files to .wmv or quicktime or other finished formats. And for all this extra work, companies are loathe to pay more for scenes.
