Its still proven to be higher quality than hard drive based video. Besides, Canon wouldn't release 3 new miniDV cams if it were dying anytime soon. Plus, the other issue with hard drive based cams is, what do you do about originals? Sure you can burn them to DVD but it wont be HD, so your HD cam is pretty much worthless without being able to have a solid backup. If they are going to bring out Blu Ray recorders sometime soon, will be different but they just barely put out the players. The recorders are still years off.
