Even a telesync (using a fancy camcorder on a tripod with no audience and a seperate sound source) is barely passable. I doubt this new camera will affect anything since the only halfway decent quality recordings are either telesync or a screener dvd rip both of which require cooperation from either theater employees or someone with access to screener copies.

HDTV is certainly what consumers WANT.. it's just not what they see themselves actually getting with minimal hassle at present.. so even early adopters like me are left waiting and wandering precisely what to buy. when last i checked HDTV still had about 15 different standards, interfaced by 10 different plugs and 2 different encryption schemes into tv’s which sometimes didn’t support them, sometimes required 2 or more devices to accomplish the task one alone should have accomplished, and have so much DRM they may as well not exist at all for consumers!

Substantial non-infringing uses? “Strangely Sony, which also makes eminently affordable CD and DVD burners, hasn’t yet been named by other members of the movie cartel for aiding and abetting pirates.”
