The following movies were shot on MiniDV, edited and shown in a movie theatre.
Open Water
The Anniversary Party
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
Full Frontal
28 Days Later
Chuck&Buck
Pieces of April

It's personal opinion as to how they looked in the theatre.

Then go for it!

My suggestion would be to concentrate right now on a great script with compelling characters. Then concentrate on lighting and sound and acting (among all the things you need to pay attention to during production). Then cross the tape-to-film transfer and showing it in a theater bridge when you have a finished movie that is good enough to show in the theater.

Just to add a comment from anouther person who is not in the know.
Doesnt it matter on the kind of camera you have, such as if its 3CCD or not. I couldnt imagin a 900 dollar Canon camera comparing to its XL2.
