With the new cameras, you will have to play from your Video Camera unless it is the type that records to DVD.....and like Digital "Still" cameras....ignore the value of Digital Zoom. Only Optical Zoom is relevant. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16118-help-buying-digital-video-camera/#findComment-227652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
