Thanks all - will avoid the NTSC camera then

Definately looking for HD and currently pricing up a couple of Panasonics -
HDC-HS300 and the HDC-HS25

Only reason I asked about the NTSC is because I saw one on Ebay which had
the highest spec, with almost the lowest price. Thought there'd be a catch
somewhere and guess we found it.

FYI: I'm never going to Tottenham Court Road anymore. Same cameras there
are around 40% more than a buy it now price on ebay from a UK reseller.

Cheers,

Brad

different resolution between PAL 576 lines and NTSC 480 lines will cause
the image to be stretched when played back on a UK TV at 4:3..
