Camcorder TV signal question?
I am wanting to buy this camcorder from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-VIXIA-Memory-Camcorder...
It says that "Television System: NTSC"
Does this mean if I take it to Europe and plug it into a LCD TV it won't work? Does the television system signal (NTSC vs PAL) even matter when it comes to LCD/Plama TVs?
Please help.

Old CRT television displays are very sensitive to frame rate, and only a few models were capable of multi-sync. Most LCD TV displays can work in a variety of video and even computer formats. however the TV set still has to decode the analog composite feed, and some less expensive sets may not come with multi-format capability. So you are right, the NTSC/PAL decision is less dependent on display devices than it was 10 years ago. However you should still shoot in the frame rate needed for the final product because making a frame rate change is not graceful with video that has motion and action in it.
