We've used an HVX for a little over a year. The main reason we shoot HD is for the future value of our content... in 3 or 5 years time, hi-def content that's true HD (as opposed to HDV) will almost certainly be more valuable than SD or HDV content.
There is a noticeable difference between DVCPro-HD, the Panasonic codec which is 100Mbits/sec, and HDV, which is 25Mbits/sec. More data, more resolution, better color depth. BUT... after you've downconverted to Windows Media for the web (or Quicktime or H.264 or whatever), much of the difference is lost.
The one other thing we've found... the Panasonic "film gamma" setting (on both the DVX camera that is standard DV video and the HVX) makes for really amazing, film-looking video. We started using it about 8 months ago, and our members have commented on the improved quality of our videos. Also, our members seem to like the native 16x9 format, and we've switched all our videos, including those still shot in regular DV, to 16x9.
