Many have the option disabled due to international legal reasons - bit like DVD's having region coding. Camcorders that can record from an external source are classified diferently under customs legislation making them vcr's and costing lots more in duty.

Some Mini DV camcorders can have that re-enabled with software hacks It is now illegal to produce anymore of the "widgets" that performed the software hack, you may still find some remaining stock left for sale but many others cannot and would require the camcorder to be dismantled and a soldering iron applied.
