We will switch to shooting HD later this year.

We probably won't release DVDs in HD format until the replication plants have a way to do a dual-sided (SDVD and HDVD) disc or we feel like enough consumers own HDVD players.

The one comment that a lot of people missed was by Tony404 who said that of all the so-called HD formats out there, only Panasonic's HVX-200 is actually HD. All the others are HDV, which is a much lower resolution standard that can record on MiniDV tape.

True HD has much too large a data stream to be able to compress and record on miniDV tape and must be recorded to another media (on the Panasonic, it records to memory cards or streams to a portable hard drive) and is considerably larger than 13 gigs/hr, it's more like 1 to 2 gigs a minute, depending on what resolution you're shooting.

As several people have pointed out, it's also pretty unforgiving, so it may require some changes in how we present our models... every little imperfection shows.
