Camcorderinfo posed a question to readers recently, what format their next camcorder will be. The results are in; HDV is the leader (though not by much), with AVCHD 2nd (see the explanation for this one), and the venerable MiniDV taking up the rear of the three formats that actually count in this poll. To me, this informal poll points to AVCHD making inroads in the consumer market first, before potentially spreading into prosumer and pro models. Unless you are Tore Nordahl, in which case you believe that AVCHD already won the format war. Or something like that
