HDV is not full-resolution 1080i HDTV. It's 1440x1080 rather than 1920x1080. Apparently this is an HDV limitation, not a "hardware" limitation in the camera -- any HDV camera will shoot like this.

I have the HDR-HC1. If you wanna shoot a movie theater, you gonna see grain! That's the CMOS talkin. Very grainy in low-light, very nice and clean in bright light. Oh and bit torrent? Forget it. Your scammed movie will run you about 25-30 GB in the end.

OTOH, for legal uses, a 25mbps data rate rocks! No motion artifacts or macro blocking whatsoever!
