Look at all the websites marketing themselves as having HD movies. Why do they do that? They do it because HD is in demand right now. HD is in demand because the picture is bigger and if processed correctly, clearer and sharper. It takes the same amount of knowledge, skills, lighting and talent to shoot good HD as it does to shoot good SD. But because the HD is a better product that is in demand right now, I don't see a problem with a producer charging more for HD video.
HD is not a novelty anymore, its more expected then anything.
I think my whole point here is why the hell would anyone even shoot SD anymore? And if so why offer it cheaper (ok lets call SD cheaper then shall we? everyone happy now lol)

Now lets wait a year or so and see some REAL expensive HD Pro hit the streets
Not many doing that yet
