I wonder if this camera will be able to play back 24f/30f footage from it's bigger brothers. If so it might be an interesting camera to own and use as a deck, and personal handicam.

Yup, see http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showpost.php?p=521590&postcount=15

The HV10 is a deck, with a lens on it.

Ahh... forgot to look over in that area of the forum... now if only it was a little cheaper! hehe

Hello,
I have a JVC camera that shoots in progressive scan mode, so will this little camera be able to play back my tapes?
Thanks
Michael

You mean 720p HDV playback? Sorry, no it won't.

Or do you mean standard definition DV? If so, no problem.

Thanks for the info,
I guess I will have to look elsewhere for a little camera or little deck that will do this for me. I do like the idea of having a camera/deck combo package in that price range that will play 720p HDV.

I was hoping to use this camera as a deck aswell, but use it as somewhat of a B-cam if i needed one. I know it records 30f but not 24f, is there any way to convert 30f to 24f.

thnx
jeff
