YES... As long as you are using MiniDv, it will play. The CCDs have nothing to do with playback, they just capture your image as light enters the lens. 3 CCD cameras split the incoming light via prism, capturing separate Red, Green and Blue images which are then combine to make one whole frame. This frame is then converted to data and stored on the tape. 3 CCD cameras reproduce more vivid colors than their 1 CCD counterparts. 1 CCD cameras receive all colors, darks and lights onto one CCD to make a frame. Because they lack a prism, there can be better Contrast in a 1 CCD camera but you basically pay for what you get. In all MiniDV cameras, the video information is stored in a standardized way. For example, I use a DVCAM deck with 0 CCDs to edit. The CCDs have nothing to do with playback. Hope this helps.
