At OSNews we are committed on being geeky. However, "being a geek" does not always constitute a person who just loves technology. There are geeks about literature (who do you think wrote "Shrek"?), and of course, art geeks. This last kind enjoys a new booming lately with the commoditization of HD camcorders. The following editorial includes suggestions on camera choices, video editors and delivery formats, and has HD video samples of hobbyist cameramen that many professionals could be jealous of.

To be honest it'll be a few years but I'm sure by then the gear that's extremely expensive now will be within reasonable reach.
Plus I'm finding the number of storage options rather difficult to choose from. At the present I see mini-DV to be the best choice (I don't trust mechanical hard disks - seen waaay too many die for seemingly no reason at all), DVDs seems too limiting, storage cards (flash etc) is too small, so really all I can think of is mini-DV. It's been around for a long time, it's tested and to me most reliable.

That was the idea around my article, to inspire the geeks around here.
Yeah, you can wait a bit and get an AVCHD camera when they get better quality (currently, HDV has better quality), or, if you really can't wait, opt for the HV20.
BTW, I hope you clicked through to Vimeo to view the HD version via Flash. And if you login to Vimeo you can also download the original uploaded 720p video which has even higher quality than the 720/24p at just 2mbps that Vimeo re-encodes (it's an inherent limitation of their encoder backend apparently).
