99.99% of the camcorders adher to NTSC or PAL video standards. As such, this is where we are in your consumer grade models.
If you want to get past that, then you look to DvPRO HD models. I'll show one and only one example camera of such a stature.
-> "The AJ-HDC27FE VariCam progressive scan high definition camcorder brings variable frame rate acquisition to the DVCPRO HD product line up."
There are many models out there like this. But you won't see such at Best Buy.

How does one interpret camcorder specifications regarding resolution. All I am looking for is a camera that will have similar resolution to that of a progressive scan DVD (480 verticle lines of resolution progressively scanned)What do I need to look for in a camcorder spec that will equate to that type of resolution. Also, can anyone tell me how many horizontal and verticle lines of resolution can be support by the miniDV tape format.
Thanks in advance
John
