It IS newsworthy. Because it means that Camera makers will probably start building European versions that capture video in a lower resolution just to save the tax in order to get cheaper products to the customers.
Well - all the digital cameras I looked at until now could capture at a maximum of 640 x 480 @ 30 fps (expect for models by Panasonic that could do 848 x 480 in widescreen mode).
Are there any models that can film in 800 x 600 @ 25 fps (or even 30 fps)? That would allow a conversation to European PAL without losing quality. Unfortunately I could not find anything like that on the market.
So if you know of a good bridge camera that allows filming in 800 x 600 please post the model name here. And don't forget: Were talking about digital cameras, not camcorders or webcams.

Can you please give me the exact model name? I'm searching for a cheap digital camera that can do 800x600 @ 25 or 30 fps for quiet a while now!
