Another camcorder question
 

A friend is going to get a Mini DV camera for his brother who is going to live in Canada.

Question is, will a camera bought in the UK work okay when plugged into a Canadian TV? Do you still have the PAL/NTSC issue when you use the phone connectors?

As far as i'm aware rock' all new tv's etc are PAL/NTSC compatable in the UK. Just depends what they do in Canada.
What TV is he gonna plug it into...if it's new chances are they wont have a problem.
My camcorder can record in both modes.

Hi Lisa. My camcorder is only a few months old but the book has nothing to say about it! I know about the TV thing, wasnt sure if that applied to all the inputs on the TV, ie scart, phono etc.

What time will you be there on sunday? Cant make it tomorrow, got to go home and visit mum, shes been in hospital now for about three weeks.

It depends on the TV - I would have thought it would be MUCH cheaper to buy from the US/Canada anyways, change the £ for a $ and thats pretty much what you pay!

Rock it applies to all the inputs/outputs, since NTSC is 30 fps and PAL is 25fps, also NTSC is lower resolution
