Re: NTSC or PAL Can purchase...But it's cheaper!

OTOH, your lowest common denominator is VCD format that you mentioned.  VCD
is lower quality than VHS Video.

If it helps, we can source the Canon MV6iMC for you at $1500 Inc GST.  Then
claim back the $136 GST back, you end up with a price of $1364.  Still a lot
more than $800, but you will get a more usable camera.
