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, 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, vi
