The best thing about shooting in HDV is that you can make really nice widescreen DVDs, something you can't do so well from most DV cameras (because they don't have widescreen sensors). If your intended output is 4:3 DVDs then it's more debatable whether HDV helps compared to cameras like the ones you mentioned, but some people think so.

I'm not at all sure that's the case. Try contacting my colleague David Devoucoux, david@video-arizona.com. He knows all the locals.
