Hi all,

Looking for some advice. If I bought a camcorder in the US would I be able to view the footage on my TV at home in the UK?:erm:

I am not technically minded but have read that they don't have PAL tv's over there and don't know if it matters or not.:confused2

Thanks, all answers appreciated

When my sis-in-law bought a video camera from the US, what we found was that the finalised DVD was fine, but if you tried to plug it into the TV with the cable then it didn't work.

Hi There we bought a camcorder a few years ago in florida
we just made sure it was a Pal one, we have had no prblems with it
and it works fine when linked to the tv.

Thanks for your replies. Will check on any potential purchases to make sure they are PAL. Hopefully will be able to pick up a bargain;)
