Maybe. It's been two years since I bought a video camera, and

However, you haven't written anything to suggest to me that my
information is all that out of date.

Then your information is out of date.

To play the "Duniho Game", I could point out that you said:

What home video stuff does 1080i? Last I looked, consumer-grade HD cameras
were only starting to appear, and they only did 720.

I admit that $2000 is still stretching the bounds of "consumer-grade", but
not by much, and 720 is certainly not the limit.

No, one camera in this range does not indicate a market shift (not indicated
by simply saying "home video"), but if somebody were reading this thread and
interested in such a camera now, they may know of options not indicated by
your statement.


But it doesn't seem to me
that the home video market has generally gotten to any
high-definition, never mind 1080i.

I didn't say it had, but there are cameras with 1080i resolution and editing
software (for ~$70-80) that will allow home video enthusiasts to capture,
edit and distribute HD content. It is most definitely available to the
"home video market".
