I totally agree, my neighbor, my co-worker and my wife seem to have no problem watching strech-o-vision. Even the DirecTV "technician" (who hardly deserved such respect) that setup my hr20 seemed to think that i'd prefer to watch everything stretched... I cant imagine how many homes he setup that way and they just assume thats how things are supposed to look. My suspicion is that people are being led to believe that widescreen == HD and therefore if you make everything widescreen, everything becomes HD.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
