Most DVCAM decks will also play miniDV. But his will likely only work with PAL Definitely go for a PAL MiniDV camera is my advice. Once compressed to mp4 for internet, it will be viewable on any computer, joly At 11:39 AM 12/18/2005, you wrote: Thanks Paul, All: That was helpful. I

Hi Vincent, Pal is the accepted format for most of the world, but it's not entirely future proof. The best thing to do is to get a HD camera, Sony and Panasonic do HD cameras, they are expensive, now but well worth it when it comes down to editing in the future. Pal has a frames per second rate

Hi Paul, Pal has a frames per second rate of 25 where as ntsc has 29.7, which in real terms means you get slightly better video reproduction on ntsc While I'd ordinarily jump in and correct you here, you say you were a TV tech, so you should probably correct yourself. :-) While NTSC has a

HI richard,ohh who's the smarty pants.  All I do is offer a little advice on a subject that no-one bothered to answer to and then I am corrected by someone like yourself, who jumps right in there just to correct me.  When the real point of having a pal camera or an ntsc camera is whether or not

Just a pity that you have nothing else better to do with your Sundays. May be you should have answered this before me, then we wouldn't be having this mass-debate(pun) now. I wasn't answering the original question, because I didn't know the answer, and may have posted incorrect information.

Thanks Paul, All:That was helpful. I didn't think it mattered if in the end it ended up online. However, your point about previewing on TV seems relevant. My partner in Kenya has also mentioned the use of a DVCam Deck (I think because he too has a background in TV). Do you know if DV Deck's

Hi, I am considering buying a camera and am curious if it really matters which format I use if my video is going to end up online. I will be filming in Kenya, which is in the PAL half of the world and my friends tell me I should get a PAL camera. Does it really matter? regards,
