I am tempted to say wait untill AVCHD catches up to HDV (which appears to be happening sooner than later) and get a Cam that records to solid state...HDV and tape's days are numbered...especially with the increased capacities and falling prices of solid state media...
Wrong - solid state isn't archival like tape - you have to empty them right away into your editing system. (which is a pain in the middle of production.)
HDV is here to stay! The media(tapes) only cost $10 - $15! But Canons aren't the best HDV anyway - They don't evn put LCD screens on their pro-cams cuz they're such poor quality!

True, then again there are some of us for whom the format doesn't matter. It's all about that HD-SDI output!

Sony's are the only real choice.
