1. Different video formats used in the US and Europe. PAL is European format, normally at 50Hz, The US counterpart is NTSC which is normally 60Hz
2. phase- alternating line
3. PAL is a setting for converting you video you record so it can be watched on a tube television..Most if not all tube televisions use video stream called PAL or LPCM ..depending on the quality of the television higher end televisions have converters built in so it does not matter..
4. PAL is short for Phase Alternating Line and is a colour encoding system used to show images, like a broadcast on television. The two sony reference numbers are just slight model changes and will not have an effect with respect to PAL. You need to look at the two camcorder specifications and decide what camcorder is suited for what you intend to do with it. regards, darren
