Yes in the USA the voltage is 120 volts so unless you have a styep down transformer you wont be able to use the charger safely.
Also the video output id NSTC and ours is PAL. No video on TV.

Also in the USA often not sold with cradle so afian no video to TV as this comes from cradle.

They are £468 in Sherwoods, get one here. Unless someone knows workarounds for above problems.

Are you sure about the power thing?

I ask, because the Fuji ac power supplies are dual voltage autosensing, so can be used anywhere. The only difference is in the type of mains plug moulded onto the lead, in which case a travelling plug adapter can be used.

This would leave only the televison output as a possible problem, although a lot of modern TVs and video recorders can understand both NTSC and PAL.

No I'm not sure about the power supply but there was nothing in the manual which suggested it was dual voltage. Perhaps Fuji can let us know for sure.
As for Singapore, I have no idea of voltages or TV modes there.

If the Adapter state 100-240V and YESm Fuji one does, you can use the a/c adapter. You will only need a prong adapter for the power plug to fit correctly.

This does not include the optional BC80 Charger for NP80 Batteries (6800zoom, 6900zoom), which will only work in the country it's made for.

Video is a definite problem. No option to change ntsc/pal.

Also, Warranty... Any problems will have to be handle by the country where you purchase it from.. Fuji USA, FUJI UK, FUJI Japan, etc..

Help again. I am getting a battery charger for the F601 Zoom in Singapore, does that mean that won't work in England. Fugi Guy said that Battery chargers only work in the country they are meant for.
