Hi guys,
Forgive me for the ignorance but I am a still photographer moving to video. I live in Sydney where we use PAL.
I am planning on getting the Z7 for wildlife filming as I need the interchangeable lenses option.
I am also planning to buy the Sony HVR-M35U HDV VTR which can playback both PAL and NTSC.
My question is whether it is a good idea to buy the camera in Australia and pay a lot more than what I will pay - getiing it from the US or maybe since I get the VTR as well - I can buy the camera from the US as I will be able to switch to PAL using the VTR.
I hope to produce wildlife films in HD for broadcasting.
I appreciate any advice!!
