Camcorders recording to AVCHD usually are referred to as HD or Full HD. HDV is really an old format, not to be recommended because it's not really full HD, it records on lower resolution and in playback the pixes are stretched. Some HDV cameras record to memory card and I think that's in the mpeg2 format as well. It's thanks to mp4 compression that cameras were able to capture and record full HD in full HD resolution without needing tricks like pixel stretching.
Also for the rendering it depens on what you choose for, in Final Cut Pro and Premiere you can also render to an mpeg2 or mjpeg like intermediate format like ProRes422 on Apple, Premiere has something similar I believe?
