I'd be tempted, too. I seem to remember seeing the info for the HV10 a while back, but can't find it for this... how much HD can you fit on a MiniDV tape? I was only able to find that if you're recording in SD, it's one-to-one... 80 minutes of SD on an 80-minute MiniDV tape.

When will we start seeing consumer or prosumer camcorders with 2.5" (laptop-style) or 1.5" (iPod-style) hard drives? An 80 GB hard drive is a good start, and a 160-200 GB drive would be fine for most uses. I don't necessarily need to be able to swap tapes all day; I generally just need to record an hour or two at a time, then could dump to another device for editing and storage. Make it a removable hard drive, and that even takes care of the swapping advantages of tape.
