I shall shortly be visiting the US and am considering the purchase of a digital camera. Will I be able to purchase one with PAL video playback.

It depends on where you are going in the US. NYC - probably. Debuke, Iowa - No Way! Generally most companies won't sell PAL equipment to retailers in the states - since the market would be extremely limited. However in major metropolitan areas you can find them - but that would be places like NYC, LA, Miami. Even then you will find a model you like and it may not be available in PAL where you found it. Also - be a bit careful - as procurement for PAL equipment is not done through "normal" channels in the US. This would put any warranty you expect into question. I'd say stick with the big names for retailers. In NYC check out B & H!
