Okay, I am going to be going to school in Madrid this coming semester, and I am very interested in bringing along a video camera. Although I do not yet have one, I am considering buying one. My parents discourage me from that for fear I would lose it or it would get stolen. Well, does anyone know if there are places in Madrid that rent out Videocams? If so, can you give me a general price estimate?? thanks!

You might be able to rent one out but, it is going to be a pain to get the tape to work back in the US. Our video systems are different and the tapes would have to be convereted. Last I checked on it it was expensive to do this. You might need to decide whether you want a North American or European system.

thanks so much. i will definitly buy north american. i had no idea that the video systems were different! thanks!

This probably goes without saying, but not only are the video cameras different so are the store-bought pre-recorded videos. In other words, videos bought or Spain/Europe won't play on your VCR in North America. (you're probably all saying, "DUH! No Kidding!")

Saludos, MadridMan
