Deciding on an HDV camera

I am interesting in getting an HDV camera, because I really want to start shooting in HD. I am coming from using the Panasonic DVX100, so I do have high expectations, but I don't have much money to spend. I have been looking at the Sony HDR-HC1 and it looks to be promising, and in my price range. But my quesiton is, are any companys coming out with consumer leven HDV cameras soon besides Sony? I did not attend NAB this year, so I did not see if Panasonic or anyone else were entering the consumer HDV market. If anyone has advice on a sub $2000 HDV camera, I would really appreciate it.
