Hy guys,

sorry for being slghtly off-topic with the cam model. I got a friend who is visiting the US and just bought a HF11 NTSC model from B&H. HE is right now still in the US and now thinking which problems he could have in using it in Europe (he lives in a APL country).
What are in your opinions the pro and cons of using an NTSC model in EU ? The PSU/socket issue is not a problem and can be solved with an adapter.
The cam has 30/60/24 rather then the 25/50/24 but can he handle all the differences simply by the edit sw ? E.g. Can he creates PAL DVDs just using the edit sw as a converter ?
He can connect the cam via the HDMI cable so he should be able also to connect it directly to its HD LCD screen (which handles actually even NTSC).
WHat do you think ? Please, let me know so that I can report to him your feedbacks.
THX for the help.

His best bet is to return it, and asked for the pal model if the store has it he will probably have to pay a little extra seeing its an " import /european"model

If not, you can use your edit suite to convert or get a dvd player that's not restricted.

Hi ... thx. B&H doesnt have the EU model for it.
If the cam is recording HD in AVCHD lets say at 24p or 30p .... does it matters if is it NTSC ? the editing sw can handle the source material (e.g. 30p) and as output he can decide to have 25p. Then any EU system will play it back. Isn't it so ???
THX for the help.
