I need a quick reply HMC150 - OWNERS ONLY PLEASE

Hello all,

I must decide quickly and order the HMC150 and I need a simple answer from the owners only as searching I've read opposing statements.

Is the HMC150 software switchable NTSC <> PAL ???

Thank you.

No

HMC150 is NTSC only,
HMC151 PAL/NTSC,
HMC 152 is PAL only

Being 1080 Hi-def cameras they're not really classified as PAL or NTSC any more. The question really is if they're 25p/50i or 30p/60i.

Thank you. As I am a real amateur lost in the video world I am condemned to ask stupid questions after I do my portion of searches.

I was thinking of this camera as the main reason we're getting one is archiving, that is why I'm headed towards flash based HD cam. It is mainly talks and conferences... It might be used for some short movies. The cam. will be used in Europe but for the planed movie, the footage will be used by US team with US standard equipment. Am I on the right path here...
