OMG OMG OMG, 1080 lines of complete crap. What you guys don't realize is that If you don't want to spend a load, get SD.
1. It's a hell of a lot easier edit with. And for lots of you, guess what...
WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER DOESN'T SUPPORT IT.
You'll need to upgrade your computer specs and your software to just get a smooth workflow.
2. The cheapest, good, hdv camera (NOT HD! HD's cheapest cam is the HVX200, running at $5000, the rest are HDV Codec) is the hv10 or hv20. Those have terrible low light but amazing day colors. Even those cost $1000+.
3. You will kill the quality when you put it on youtube anyway (which is what most people end up doing) so the difference between HD and SD is unnoticeable.
4. Tape isn't raw. It's compressed in DV. So unless your HDV footage is recorded directly to an external hard drive (which is possible, but very expensive) it's not gonna be much different than SD in the first place. This is the reason that higher end HD cameras use p2 cards or dvcam HD and and dvcpro HD tapes.
5. When you export as an .avi, .mov, .wmv, or whatever you use...then your extra High Definition lines of resolution are going right out the window.
Then only reason you should buy an HD camera (other than to brag to your friends, "Oh yeah, well, MY CAMCORDER IS HD!!!") should be If you can maintain the HD quality as you export and compress with all the different codecs out there. Most kid's just export a WMV from WMM and convert it to a flash file on youtube. That's not the way to treat HD.
Unless, your gonna spend a lot of money ($1000+) the quality of HD is going to be unnoticeable, by the way most kids treat it.
If you can afford it go right ahead. But, if your just gonna shoot some clips, edit it together, and throw it up on youtube, stick with SD. It's cheaper, and just as good.

I'm finally getting a DVX in the next 2 months. I was going to take extra money out of the student loan i got yesterday for it but my dad said he would buy it for me, and i made him shake on it because he'll fuck me over if he doesn't get it haha.

I think you mean HDV. And please don't get a JVC. If your gonna get an HDV camcorder, get an HV20.Shelby Grimnes said:

Check out this footage from the HV20. It's a huge file so it'll take a while (250mb)
