Hi all,
This is my first post here so hopefully I post it in the right forum.
Anyway, I am looking to purchase a miniDV camcorder in the next month or two. I have got a budget of AU$1000 and I have been leaning towards the Panasonic models with 3CCD. However a couple of friends have recommended Sony and JVC models to me as well. All of them don't have 3CCD at my price range (or at least in Australia). So my question is how important/useful is 3CCD?
Another question I have is about PAL and NTSC. I can see the price difference between Australia and US/Asia is quite big (eg GS320 is about AU$800 but only US$400 in US) so I am thinking about purchasing the camcorder overseas. However we have got PAL system here in Australia and US has got NTSC. Does it matter which format the camcorder is in? Or I can change the system once I have upload and edit on my computer?
I will be using the camcorder for my wedding in Dec and my honeymoon trip to Asia at the end of this year.
Thanks
Kenny
