Almost all gay stuff is shot on minidv with 3ccd cameras as others have mentioned.

That having been said, I've seen a large shift in the straight market to shooting everything in HDTV. They are building up their library of hi-res material for the new DVD formats coming out in two years that will be 1080 resolution. There is also already a secondary market for them in the HDTV PPV straight adult channel being offered on DirecTV.

HDTV cameras are expensive though, so I think we will continue shooting minidv ourselves for a while longer. Anyway, just a heads up...
