I am about to become a client of yours because you invested in gear fitting what i need, is my business not enough for you, do you want me to pay you more just because you had to upgrade?
Newsflash, even if all you do is shoot SD you have an ongoing equipment cost.
Maybe you were not charging enough to begin with?

If I had HD I would put the SD in the closet and only use it if it was requested.
Since I've been shooting video since 1984 I have a huge library of tapes shot in VHS, VHS-C and miniDV. So my point was how can I charge the same for four different qualities of video. With HD being the very best it should make it worth the most.
Until HD becomes the standard, it's treated as a premium. Just like anything that has an upgrade you have to pay more for it. Simple as that.
Enjoy beer day
