I placed an order for this Sony HDV tape deck GV-HD700E (PAL version). I am wondering - does anybody knows what is the difference between GV-HD700 and the GV-HD700E decks? For Singapore domain (PAL) - I don't seem to be able to order the GV-HD700 (only the 700E is available).

I believe E stands for Europe. The decks are the same except that non-E is 60Hz NTSC version versus E is the 50Hz PAL version.

P.
