Re: Camcorder USA
As mentioned there is the NTSC/PAL problem. This will apply to your TV and anyone else you are sharing with, it is not an easy fix to convert NTSC to PAL so you realistically are stuck with the format you record in.

PAL has more picture lines than NTSC so is also a higher resolution 600 lines vs 525 lines.

Wwty, is it global or US only?

If you are thinking of a DVD based one, you need to find out what format it records in, if it is RAM then most drives will not play it. RAM is the best recording format (it works more like a HDD).

Personally I would (and did) get a PAL camcorder places like pixmania do some good prices (as do Dixons on 6 month old models).
