Or how I learned to stop worrying and accept the HDV standard
Almost every major manufacturer adhered to the HDV mpeg-2 standard initiated by JVC nearly a year ago (as of writing the post). Is the new HDV standard preventing the other major manufacturers within the HDV agreement from developing another format of their own?
Perhaps Matsushita, the parent company of JVC and Panasonic used JVC as a decoy to lure the other manufacturers into a false sense of format security, while Panasonic slips through undetected to claim check mate and implement true HD on solid state media with the same blind-siding results as with the introduction of 24P on the DVX100/a?
If that were the case, then perhaps the HDV standard will be nothing more than a freak trend; only appearing in a few transitional period cameras until Panasonic rightfully reclaims its’ role as the digital messiah to the discontent masses.
Since the lifecycle is becoming a main concern; is it entirely impractical to think that prosumers may actually have a DV/HD camera in their hands that doesn’t go stale after the first couple of years? Kinetta has proven it’s possible to increase the life span with their HDV prototype camera, which allows for its internal organs, CMOS sensors and all to be removed and replaced when needed. So, shouldn’t Sony, Canon, Panasonic, JVC or any other digital video/imaging developer worthy of their stock piles of magnesium, glass, and silicon componentry be committed to creating groundbreaking standards without playing format cloak and dagger with the others? Guess not… :roll:
