I dunno. I have old R8 Kodachrome shot on family vacations in the late
50's and early 60's that looks a lot better than anything I've seen out
of Mini-DV. I'm not saying I'm against DV, either. I used Mini-DV for
my fall project this year just because I had to get a Mini-DV project
done to be able to take some of the other program classes I want to
take. It was great to be able to see what we'd shot immediately, but it
was SO easy to overexpose or underexpose it and those LCD viewfinders
are useless. We used a C*non GL-1 and I set it to zebra stripe after
the first shoot went unpredictably. It was just as unpredictable on
zebra stripe. We ended up having to lug a CRT out to monitor exposure.
If you want to see me overacting, I've got a low-res Quicktime version
of it up here:

ok, but none are better than VHS camcorders I have used, let alone
close to
my low end mini-dv. Just my personal observation...
