I have heard good things about the Optura (it even has a 1/3" CCD), and Youtube doesn't even have HD capabilities anyway. You probably won't even be able to take advantage of HD features anyway for a couple years due to the fact that it is still new and being developed. Don't get me wrong, the HV10 is still a nice camera, but Internet and Youtube videos are highly compressed and you will not tell the difference between SD and HD. If I were you, I would save the extra $300 and spend it on audio equipment or something, considering the Optura has a microphone input. They say that audio is just as important as video. Edit: Also, there is no point in an HD camera if you have no HDTV, because the only difference between HD and SD is resolution, so HD video on an SD tv would look no different than SD video on an SD tv. There's also the HD-DVD that you have to buy, too...<br><b>References : </b><br> If you are planning on making small video projects and youtube videos, I recommend you buy the Optura.

You can shoot SD for now then shoot HD when you get the equipment. Plus the 24p is the best feature out right now in any consumer camcorder!!!!<br><b>References : </b><br> I would get the HV20 which shoots both HD & miniDV & 24p!!!!
