One Might also posit that an Analog camcorder actually has a more pleasing to the human eye "dynamic range" than a contemporary digital video camera. I know that's stretching it a bit, but I have seen some pretty incredible results in terms of "Feeling" from analog camcorders when compared to todays highly compressed high definition camcorders.
Even forgetting that the biggest micro-budget successes, ever, were shot with cameras, like consumer Hi8, substantially inferior to what you can pick up for under $500 today, folks tend to forget that as production values improve, so too do audience expectations for other aspects of the production.
In a word, audiences will put up with a lot, from a movie which looks like crap. They're far less apt to do so, if the product has a professional sheen which other aspects of the production (performance, writing, production design, etc.) don't equal.
So be careful what you wish for.
