Looking at HD inspecton cameras, the prices seem pretty outlandish

DV camcorders are inexpensive, and video comes out on Firewire
in real time. HDMI is deliberately crippled, and component video is
less convenient than a digital stream for most subsequent operations.


I'm not disagreeing with the notion that HDMI has its problems,
but I'm curious - what part do you think is "deliberately" crippled?
