While SD material might be around for more time, it is not clear that this would be miniDV material. The AVCHD consortium has specified their standard for SD resolutions too. And given the fact that chipsets getting cheaper while reading-tapes hardware does not, it is as safe to assume that SD camcorders might also move to the AVCHD h.264 standard rather than the current miniDV mpeg2 one.
