I live in Big Sky and we don't have any electronics stores, I would have to order a firewire to try it.
The camcorder is a DCR-PC55E Pal.
My room mate said he has hooked it up to a few tv's in the states and it played fine. -

It's all a bit of a crapshoot, really. Best thing is to suck it and see!John Miller -
Good news is that camcorder captures and passes PAL analog. Bad news is you need a PAL capable TV to watch it.

Buy the cable (about $6) online and try it. You will still need the cable later when you ask around for an NTSC DV/Digital8 cam.Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.
