Sony HD camera and Vegas HD questions

The HD sample footage looks awesome, but all I saw were still shots. How does HD look on fast pans and handheld stuff?

Can I edit HD video smoothly on my current system (a 3 gigahertz machine with a 533 frontside bus)?

Can I actually burn HD DVD's yet?

Will the new Sony camera shoot regular DV resolution at both native 3:4 and 16:9?

Will HD format transfer well to film for those rare occasions where I do such a project?

Can I render HD footage to standard NTSC and PAL resolution DVDs?"

I would say yes but I could be wrongé

Can I actually burn HD DVD's yet?
Not yet, unless it's in WMV HD but I'm not sure if there are any setup players reading the format yet

Will the new Sony camera shoot regular DV resolution at both native 3:4 and 16:9?

The consumer version the was announced will only shoot DV, the prosumer version that is not announced yet will shoot DV, DVCAM and HDV.

You can downconvert to what you want...
