I really don't think people are going to pay more for a high definition wedding but when you are shooting HDV it shouldn't have to cost more because the cameras are really affordable. Also people have come to believe that when you shoot digital that automatically means high definition. Nevertheless I think its best to shoot the wedding in HD 720p30. When you go to the church you never want to skimp on the quality. However I would never want to spend the money to upgrade my HD10 to a HD100 unless i really get a call for a professional looking shoulder mount camera. With JVC Pro HD you look like the guy that just came in from the television studio. So is that what the customers want or will that just scare them off because you don't want them thinking that you are going to overcharge them?

delivery
 

Those of you shooting weddings in HDV, how do you deliver the end product? Do you deliver SD DVDs or do you give them DVHS? Until Blueray or HD-DVD comes out - do you include a DVHS- VCR in your event price?

SD-DVD would be my guess, because most people don't have D-VHS. I don't even think it sold well, because Sears, Best Buy, etc. don't sell D-VHS decks anymore. I got my 30000 unit last year from Sears, unopened, for $350 because they couldn't sell it.
