Well as I see it whomever wrote this article is regurgitating PR without knowing what the mfr is trying to say.
You're right the SR1 (widely available everywhere) which I almost bought before heading to OZ for Xmas (also considered the Canon), bestbuy has been selling them for a while;
But I think what the mfr and thus the author was trying to say was that this is the first FULL 1080i 1920x1080 HDD camera, Canon doesn't do a consumer HDD model yet, and since the Sony is 1440x1080, then technically this is the first full 1080i HDD camera.
I don't understand quad HDTV??
2160p? I didn't think that was a HDTV standard?
Will there ever be aquad HDTV cabe tv? Or ever have a quad HDTV movie on HD DVD? Even a quad HDTV camcorder?
I think I missed something.
