If the future of handycam is in High Def, isn't that going to be the end of MiniDV? Since MiniDV can't produce image quality higher than err....itself, how is it 'better' than DVD/HDD camcorder with 720p/1080i or 1080p video quality?

Plus, I believe only HD ready media can record a 5.1 audio, and MiniDV can't. Correct me if I'm wrong.

BTW, I just bought me a Sony HDR-UX1E. Yeayy!!
