You guys railing against HD sound silly. Assuming all other things being equal (and you are not filming tranny porn) why the hell would you want to film in SD rather than HD? The apparent quality to the end user is much higher with some form of HDV or HD filming, there is no way to deny that. (I won't make a distinction between HDV and other HD for this purpose) Again, don't compare some badly shot HD porn, to the best shot SD porn. Make it a fair comparison. Compare your own best work, or that of someone you respect that is well lit, with attractive models and good makeup, and just change the camera from an SD camera to a HDV camera leaving all other things equal. There is no way that you couldn't see the difference in the perceived quality of the image, especially in the details even if the video editor encoded the hdv footage to a mere say 3500 Kbps bitrate at 1280 x 720. Yes the file sizes will be bigger but you can always offer smaller frame sizes for smaller files.
