HDV can take a certain amount of pushing, but you're right, not a lot. The problem comes when you really try to push HDV to extremes it breaks up.

Even Canon can get away with calling the HV20/30 true 1920 cameras (chip pixels, rather than recorded pixels). Who cares - it'll look fine if their operators, DP, and director are doing their jobs. Right? Caveat: I'd hate to be the colour timer on that show though - he/she will have to keep pointing at the format of choice when explaining why they couldn't push the image further... ;) Let's hope there's at least one XH-G1 in the mix with an HD-SDI tether...
