Can we expect improved compact HDV cameras? at DVinfo.net

I really like the form-factor of the Sony HC1 and A1, and the Canon HV20 has been very popular.

But now all the effort in this size range seems to be in AVCHD cameras. Will we ever see nice improved HDV-format A2 or HV30? I really hope so!

What is the advantage of AVCHD over HDV? I think I read somewhere that AVCHD is more compressed than HDV. Any concern about increased motion artifacts?

Well I got half my wish - a more advanced HDV camera on its way. But not the form factor I'm hanging around for.
