Including those camcorders you mentioned?

Not sure what your point is here.
If you were defending RGB over s-video then camcorders only have s-video

He said both that all equipment with S-Video has RGB and that
camcorders mostly only have S-Video. I pointed out the inconsistency.


S-Video is out-dated US rubbish.

Actually I guess it is Japanese rubbish, as they are responsible for it.

The US was Japan's biggest market for years and they act accordingly.
Whether the US followed Japan or Japan followed the US is neither here
nor there. The technology used is the same in both countries.


And still fitted as standard on every domestic camcorder world wide

That doesn't make it any good: it just makes it compatible with US AV
equipment, which is why they do it.

Look at most AV amps. They have S-Video connections but only rarely
component RCA and never RGB or scart, in spite of RGB scart being the
European standard for AV. Look at the first generation of DVDR
machines also, many of which lacked RGB inputs/outputs.

Surely not too hard to find again Clive? You left the link to pricerunner
there in the posting.

I`mean`t the QVC page.... :-)

I wanted to compare the piccys....

Oh Sorry Clive, www.qvcuk.com and it will be no doubt under the electrical
section now rather than the front page as it was when it were the TSV that
day.

It was a sell out, so longer there.

Bye for now.

Clive.

The Merkins seem to have discovered RGB of late in the form of component & it
can be found on all their (& our) Japanese sourced AV amps now.

All? Not all.

And component RCA isn't RGB scart by a long way.
