Very little practical use or cash value in the setup these days, but a lot of fun to noodle around with and learn the basics of video work on.  Toaster setup is still a lot of fun to fiddle around with if SD stuff is acceptable for you.

In a world where people can take HD and 4k video on their cell phones and import it directly into a PC via SD card for processing, I don't see a lot of people going through the effort of noodling around with an Amiga from 20 years ago, combined with a low rent camcorder for wedding videos or training videos.

The "no money to upgrade to HD" is a bit of a cop out in a world where pretty much everything is HD.  Any $150 TV off the shelf of a BestBuy is HD.  HD's been around in a public capacity since 1998, after all.
