HD Camera is it worth it?

Greetings

I've been messing around with SD mini DV cams for quite a while and have had some quite reasonable results, but you know how it is - you have a quite satisfactory small car, the you see a bigger one with more refinements and it becomes desirable...

So, I am toying with the idea of sticking a toe in (what to me) are the murky waters of HD.

I primarily record Jazz Bands, Family get-togethers and suchlike, so nothing too fancy.

First thing then, is a camera. Any recommendations? Again, nothing too fancy.

I am drawn to the idea of higher quality (but NOT Blu-Ray!), so I thought that the improved resolution with HD would be a significant step up. But of course, no benefit with DVD's. So how would one go about getting the resulting video to my TV - and what would the best way of sharing be? Dropbox?

Thanks
