Please note that "HDD" and "HDV" are not the same. The original question
is about HDD cameras - Hard Disk Drive, i.e. tapeless cameras. Sony just
announced a new $1000 HDD camera which competes with JVC's Everio line.
This is quite handy because you just copy files instead of capturing from
tape. These cameras is *not* high definition, however.
HDV refers to High Definition Video on miniDV tapes. I also have one of
Sony's HDV cameras, the HC1. Most of the time I record in high def but
downconvert to DV to make editing go faster.
