I like the idea of shooting 24P.
In my reading about these cameras I see that some require a bunch of stuff after the fact (pulling down the reinterlace and exporting to avchdxyz123, blah, blah, blah) except for the HV40 which shoots native 24P and doesn't require pulldown.
The beauty of the hv20 is price but then you have to get cineform (sp?) so I'm thinking I'm up to hv40 pricing which then allows me to avoid conversions altogether (other than downgrading for YouTube or whatever).
But then you have flash capture with the hF20 thereby avoiding tape usage.
I'm of the mindset that if I bother to get HD then it behooves me to shoot the best format the camera has. Kinda stupid to get a DSLR just to then shoot small jpeg.
I figure 24P can always be 'downgraded' for YouTube usage, etc.
My primary use for this camera is life in general.
If you're thinking "well why not ……" go ahead and post it and why (pros/cons)
Thanks for all suggestions.
