    Iīm looking for the right model of camcorder to buy. In order to make a passthrough to convert my old PAL vhs tapes and to make a good footage too. Somebody knows what models suport this kind of conversion ? Can be Digital 8 or Mini DV. The TRV 350 for example does NTSC analog to digital conversion http://www.sonystyle.com/intershoproot/eCS/Store/en/documents/specifications/DCR-TRV350.pdf
    and thatīs the major problem;

    Anyone knows any cam that do the job. ( if some works with pal/ntsc format ... will be perfect . )?

    Thanks.

  3. Hi,

    you need a PAL camcorder. The NTSC versions will not do that. I'm German and live in the US. Here you can find PAL camcorders online. Go in yahoo.com and do a search with +camcorder +PAL.

    I've purchased a Sony TRV-355E. This recorder can also put digitized video from the PC back on the Digital8 tape via DV in and also output it on the analog jacks to a TV.

  4. The GL2 is a great camera to do this. In Europe it is the MX2. It's alot of $, but does a lot.

    Just my 2 cents.

  5. Oops,

    just saw that the original request came from Brazil. Brazil uses the PAL-M system which is different from the European. The TRV-355E won't work for PAL-M. However, Sony sells a Brazilian TRV-340 that will do the job.
