Carl, I can't say for sure, but here's some reviews .. note the guys from Franktown and Catania are happy with it for capturing to Premiere.

Shoot at SP not LP and use Firewire for capture. HTH.

That doesn't look like an HDV deck to me. The description on the Sony Store website makes no mention of HD formats. I'd guess that, like an XM1 or a VX-2000, it's standard def miniDV only. I think the HDV version is GVHD-700. You can have two HV40 cameras for the same money, but only you know if it's worth the extra money.
