Following that splat leads one to a little text that reads "HIGHer DEFINITION". Admitedly it is pretty decent for a thing you could hide in a pack of American cigarettes but a DVCAM it's not, especially when you compare it to the last one we carried, that acquired the nickname "The Boomerang"...

Not true. From a screen grab I took, I measured approximately 853x480, which sounds more like 480p. Where I come from that's known as Standard-Definition (albeit widescreen,) not High-Definition. To be fair, Google's youtube blog never specifies a resolution, they just say "HD." But even that characterization is misleading, in my opinion.
