Yes that's right, if you downsize it, it may go away, but I think even if you aren't publishing fullHD today, you might want to re-publish your material in full HD in the future. That's what I'm doing. In that way you sell the same material twice :-)
What cam: it's the Panasonic AF100. It's the first DSLR like camcorder. So its a camcorder with DSLR sensor. It's under 5k I think and you can use your canon glass on it using adapters. Birgen is coming with a Canon adapter that will provide you with electronic aperture and focus control. I used it with Panasonic 14mm and 22mm pancake lenses and shot pretty decent material.
I bought this cam early this year but sold it again because I find the image a bit blurry (due to the moire filter) but I guess that was a matter of taste. I also found it too big and heavy (I prefer to shoot handheld) and I was already shooting with the Pana GH1 and now GH2 for a year which is tiny and light and IMO has better image quality than the AF100. I'm working with two GH2s now which cost me like $1500 all together so the decision to get rid of the 5000 euro AF100 was easily made (things that cost $5000 in the US cost 5000 EUR in Europe, god damned!).
After the AF100 Sony came with a few DSLR-camcorder models and I haven't looked into them yet, they might have a nicer image than the AF100. In general in find Sony cams on the warm side (red) and Panasonic cams on the cool side (blue/green), especially when you're shooting with fluorescent lighting (videssence etc).
