Nope. DVCAM plays both DVCAM and DV. A DV machine, however, can't playback DVCAM. This is beause the recording speed on a DVCAM machine is so much higher. Bottom line: DVCAM is backwards-compatible. DV is not frontwards- compatible, otherwise it'd actually *be* DVCAM, and not DV.(posted 8022 days ago)
