EventDV.net examines the codec of the year: HDV. The article could be titled "The Story of HDV" with Sony playing the lead, Canon and JVC as the sidekicks. While Panasonic plays the perilous villain. I am exaggerating but HVX is not really given a fair shake, as it infers HVX is better suited for the rental house. This certainly makes sense when you realize the article is written for Event videographers, who record for long periods of time. Which is one of the biggest problems with the HVX currently. This could change with when P2 cards get more memory. Anyways, check out the article, it gives a very good overall picture of the HDV's products
1. And then there's http://www.coax.tv/ with the contrary point of view: HDV is a transient codec that's going to start disappearing in 2007 and be gone in 2008. Not at all realistic imho. With the sales of HDV in the last year, and the release of 3rd generation HDV camcorders HDV is doing well right now. Sony say it's the fastest growing format, ever.
