Geeks.com, known for their cheap digital cameras, sent us in the Kodak EasyShare Z1485 IS, a 14 megapixel digital camera with a 720p HD video recording capability. Geeks also threw in a Peak 8 GB Class 6 SDHC card to properly test the camera's HD capability. We are taking the camera for a spin, and we have a small HD video shot for your own evaluation.

ALL of Canon's HD cameras do PF30, which is 30p in a 60i wrapper. If you are using iMovie, or Sony Vegas, you can easily discard one of the two fields and be left with a perfectly progressive (not interpolated or blended) image. The HG20 and HG21 are also hard drive based as you want, so that's the camera you want I guess. If you are after 60p instead, there's a new Sanyo Xacti flash-based one that does that.

I'm still waiting for a sub $1000 harddisk based camcorder that will do progressive HD. All the ones in that range so far have been interlaced. It has been interesting to see many of the still cameras begin to get this technology but unfortunately it's not too useful with the limited storage capacity of the flash memory.
