Hi-Def NTSC/PAL query... HELP!

Hi everyone I have a question

I want to buy a canon vixia HF10 in the USA when I visit - but am being told it is NTSC not PAL... I thought these were old standards and have no bearing on Hi-Def --- HELP! !!

Will I be able to use this camera here... I am mainly using a 46 inch LCD to view most of my things in... also surely if I record in Hi-Def it won't record in PAL or NTSC??

And you didn't spot this thread, that was about four from the top when you posted yours?

US AVCHD cameras in Europe?

Sorry if that came over a bit brusque, but we get asked that every day (or it feels like it).

You're right (if you don't want to read the other thread).

Possibly not
By all means peruse it and if you have any specific queries you can post there , or open a new thread
If you have no objections I will close this one shortly to avoid a duplication of the same theme
