If you actually spring for the bucks to step up to Discreet and want
to get out of the 720x480 doldrums, consider Sony's HDCAM.  :-)

720x480, to be gentle, is kind of getting old.  How many new camcorder
formats have we seen over the last 10 years, without actually getting
more end-user bits (oh sure, the lines of resolution have increased
which go into making the 720x480 feed, but HDTV resolution sadly has
been "just about to happen" since I was young).
