I'm only using HD camcorders. Why?
For one, the image I get is much higher quality overall. My $4,000 Sony can shoot in low light, has better image stableization than the $700 Panasonic cameras I used at Microsoft, and I like the widescreen format better. The images are also better sharpness before compression and I find they compress better too. But, that's not really the reason I'm using them. I expect that sometime in the next 18 months that old-school TV distribution networks are gonna need HD content and need it bad. I'll have it. Also, look at new school distribution networks that are popping up like Tivo, Xbox, Playstation. All are looking for HD content. Plus, if you ever want to show your videos off in HD, say, in a conference setting, or at a future Vloggies, or something like that, having HD originals will make you shine in those places and if you are shooting some video for home use, some for videoblogging, and some for friends and/or company, you'll want HD, especially if you have an HD screen. My video on my Sony 60-inch is stunning. Makes me look like the Discovery Channel.

I haven't been. I keep telling folks that, even if we've started to presume (most) everyone has broadband, it's still going to be a while before HD content on the Net is encoded and presented that way. Am I wrong? And what are you telling people, now that HD cameras are out there in numbers, and within range? --Chris... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
