Speaking of HD video...

Do you guys know about RED? It's a company that was founded a few years ago buy the guy who started Oakley (sunglasses, etc...)

http://www.red.com

Their first camera, the RED "One" is now used in a myriad of feature film production, TV shows, and TV commercials. If it seems like TV is starting to look better, it's because of this camera. It captures 4K resolution (4000x3000). They have many new models coming that capture 5K and higher resolutions.

There is also a "pro-sumer" offering - the "Scarlet" that will capture 3K resolution and will sell for about $3750 in basic form.

The big deal here is that it captures RAW or "REDcode". So, like RAW capture in a digital still camera, you can manipulate all aspects of the final video - something you cannot do with anything even remotely comparable. Also, capturing 3K and outputting it as 1080p onto a burned Bluray disc will provide much more detail than anything you might otherwise produce for your home Bluray player.

This is one of the few available video clips from the Scarlet. It's flash video, and downrezzed for a web browser, but you get the idea of the level of detail it will provide.
