Unfortunately that is all I could come up with myself.
It goes beyond the fact of being an SD only device. It's analog and analog video production is dead.
Everyone is walking around with HD cameras on their phones featuring, essentially, drag-n-drop file-level access to the content. This stuff is editable on even a cheap laptop anymore, using free or next to free software if you must. Apart from some hipster-esque satisfaction in doing something with one of these setups you're really better off saving yourself the effort and diminished quality, if you need to actually do something that's not just for purely your own purposes.
More than once I've seen local network affiliates doing a story in the field that's obviously standard-definition video blown up but these are most likely digital of some kind. It still begs the question "why?", given a first generation iPhone shoots better video but, who knows, perhaps they're still paying for some of those ENG cameras.
