It`s similar to the radio industry where people spend thousands of dollars on high end microphones yet most of the people talking on the air (callers) are using the cheapest microphone you can find, whatever is in their phone headset.

There are a couple of Content providers with HDCam for Drama, but generally they are happy to provide uprezed SD. The small Cable market. Fox especially is a mixed bag of all HD from Discovery (and its offshoots) and whatever from everyone else. We are just happy to have Digital TV. Consumers are diving into large HD LCD and Plasmas, but everyone I know just loves the SD DVD pictures uprezed and don't want to pay for Bluray. SD 16:9 seems to be the target for consumers generally. Thanks for all your service to the industry Hi Larry,

I had to arrange and produce an HDCam shoot the other day for some DVD extras for some film. Client requested HDCam. I didn't argue as it pays more. :) So when it comes time to send off for Blu-ray encoding I ask the client and get back the response, "Oh, it's just going to regular dvd, it just had to be 16x9." I smirked. Joey Hi Larry,

Also: in the end it's the cameraoperator that creates the images, not the SD or HD or widescreen techniques. Also, I believe a good SD camera is as good as a simple HD camera, certainly where flexibility of operation is concerned. I only have a very modest single person operated CD & DVD production company and simply cannot afford to get two HD cameras with the specs I require. Recently people watched a wedding DVD I made and all were wildely enthusiastic. It was shot on SD 4:3. Need I say more. :-) Paul Delcour Hi Larry,
