I read somewhere that the problem with the flash/HDD camcorders (HDD is actually my preference also) is that the compression is much greater than the MiniDV's. Do you think it's a noticeable difference, if any? I'm in the research stage myself, and really want to get a hi-def HDD camera, but hearing/reading about some compression "issues" that you don't get w/ MiniDV.... *confused* Rich, doesn’t MiniDV give you an overall better quality picture though?

It truly is amazing how much storage they are cramming into the cameras these days. Now if the optics were just a bit better life would be good.
