google found about "about 3,089" 1080p hdtvs, also known as true hd. of the cameras you mentioned how many are 1080p?? i know the hd1u and hvx200 aren't. there are far, far more tvs with the technology than cameras. if you are going to dish out $10,000 on an HD camcorder you may as well spend another $2,000 - $3,000 on a tv that can match its quality.
