Status: offline 		There is very little difference for our purposes, but NTSC uses less lines at a higher frequency (500ish lines @ 60hz?) while PAL uses more lines at a lower frequency (600ish lines @ 50hz?) As most on-board cameras are only a few hundred lines, it makes no difference! The

Status: offline 		PAL does better color encoding - hence the video engineering joke that NTSC stands for Never Twice the Same Color (it's actually National Television Standards Committee.)

Elevator_Up has covered the most important part though - you'll want to use a camera that uses the same format as the rest of the gear you will use with it (monitors, computer digitizers, VCRs, etc.) and if you live in North America that's going to be NTSC.

A lot of European video gear, especially higher end consumer VCRs are dual system units, allowing them to work with PAL or NTSC, because of so many video products going from the US to Europe.

And to confuse things a little more, most of the former USSR nations use SECAM.
