Is anyone still Shooting SD or is every going to HD???

With the state of technology and the inexpensive price, Amateurs are making some real kick ass movies these days. I've seen some amazing true Amateur Porn that blew away what is coming from most of the big studios. You can pick up a quality HD cam that shoots 1080P for under $500. My Canon XL-1 cost me $6K back when it came out in 1998 and a $500. HD cam blows it away now.

people that buy are expecting quality these days, even from the hubby and wife team down the road. The "Amateur look" was just code for "I'm too cheap to buy proper equipment and too lazy to learn how to use what I have"

My first video camera cost $65,000.00 plus 20K for the lens. My current 6K camera is HD and it blows that camera right to hell. So do the videos off my still camera for that matter. There is no excuse for shooting sd anymore.
