720 x 480 @ 30fps is broadcast quality ... at least until HD is the mainstay in the market. The higher frame rate will look better on your tv than the higher resolution will. I think the new canon still point and shoots can record up to an hour in one clip.
The Ike housing has a better depth rating than the Canon housing.

HDV is what most consumer/prosumer "HD" cameras shoot - mpeg2 or AVCHD format depending on whether it's tape or disk/dvd/solid state media storage.
HDD is Hard Disk Drive
It really has nothing to do with "hand-cam size' The pro HVR-V1U or HVR-Z1U cameras also shoot "HDV" tape. All HDV tape is is a better grade of MiniDV tape. I shoot MiniDV tape in my HDV camcorder almost all the time anyway.
