SD is on the way out. Even HDV is starting to look dated]]>Feb 15th 2008 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/Feb 14th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/Feb 14th 2008 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/
Unfortunately there is a LOT of other infrastructure in a broadcast facility that needs to be updated in order to support HD. Most of my local stations are only passing the network programming in HD (if they have a DTV signal on the air at all yet). Local programming still looks like crap from most of them.

Even though the FCC has mandated a switch to DTV over the air by 2009, they have not mandated that local broadcasters actually provide an HD signal...In other words, you may wind up with a DTV signal that is still just the same old crappy 480i material (maybe upconverted to 720p or 1080i if you're lucky...).

The good news is that the new DTV equipment is inherently capable of HD in most cases...It's just going to take quite some time before some broadcasters upgrade entirely to an HD signal path.]]>Feb 14th 2008 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/Feb 14th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/Feb 14th 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/
We really need a "digital rebel" of the HD camera world.

You either buy a crappy consumer cam or a crappy prosumer cam... That's right, both are crappy for the price compared to how good the $8k+ cameras are.]]>Feb 14th 2008 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/Feb 14th 2008 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/panasonic-shows-off-a-pair-of-pro-level-hd-camcorders/
