Incorrect. HDV is 4:2:0, the same as XDCam. The only difference is that XDCam has an available higher bit rate of 35 mb/s variable. HDV is starting to become more acceptable as a viable option for broadcast ENG and EFP applications.
Panasonic, one of the biggies that did not get on board with HDV, has its popular dvcprohd codec. The HVX 200 and other cameras on its dvcprohd line have 4:2:2 color sampling. However, most cameras are capable of getting 4:2:2 out by capturing live from HDMI, HD-SDI, or component.
Panasonic's other option, AVC-Intra, is based on the advanced video codec and is supposed to be more efficient than the popular Mpeg2, long GOP codec being used in HDV and XDCam. AVC-Intra is the professional version of AVCHD which Panasonic also carries. The problem with AVC is you need a really powerful computer and compatible editing program. Also, the quality has yet to be as good as the other codecs.
