Moving to HDV in 2007

Can't Post

So my plan is locked.
I have decided to move toward filming and editing in HDV by the 2007 season. I truly believe that HD will become the norm much sooner then some expect, and I feel HDV is the least a professional videographer should be doing as soon as you can.
I have started by adding an upgrade charge to any bride that wants HDV in 2007. Last night I booked my first HDV package by offering a $300.00 early booking upgrade to their package. I feel if I book 20 weddings in 2007 that choose the upgrade, I would have $6000.00 back in my pocket to help with my transition and expenses..
I have always been aggressive when new technology is coming and I think this is one aspect of the industry that will allow us to stand out from the "uncle joe" video that some brides think is good enough.
I have seen many debates about HDV but it is the obvious next big thing and I would like to demo it at the end of the 2006 at a few bridal shows.
Outside of the few that are already using HDV cameras, does anyone else have a plan to move over in this manner?
