Standard Definition MiniDV is the new 16MM

Since P2 cards cost around $1000 or so (so I hear) in order to shoot full HD, that would make both HDV shot on tape/MiniDV & Standard Definition MiniDV the new 16 MM. HD on P2 cards would be the new 35 MM - at least for the ultra-low budget end of the indie filmmaking world.

I definitely will not be shooting on full HD on P2 cards anytime soon.

But HDV on tape might be an easy step up from regular/SD MiniDV. However, I am still fine with SD MiniDV.
