I say: Just buy a good digital set :-)

Hmm, all the pro cameras I know come out in RGB or YUV.

Nobody in the professional world should be using PAL/NTSC in the
studio's primary signal chain today

Interesting you should say that. There must be tons of gear out there that's
'legacy' so-to-speak PAL.

Read it again. He said PROFESSIONAL, and NEWER equipment is inferred.

Since when did PROFESSIONALS not use PAL ?

Don't talk about stuff you have no experience of. It makes you look even more
retarded than normal. I was the technical manager for an editing equipment hire
company some years back. I do know what I'm talking about.

Broadcast TV isn't as wealthy as it once was and don't expect equipment to be
'upgraded' on a whim.

PAL (and especially UK PAL) produces a far superior picture to NTSC btw just in case
you're getting confused.
