1. Since you did not tell us which Canon camcorder, we can't point you to the specific manual, but typically, newer AC adapters supplied will do with the just the plug/adapter (voltage converter not needed. It should also be written (but very difficult to read) on the AC adapter itself. I was in Monaco last year and had a similar concern with my Sony camcorder... and needed ONLY the plug/adapter - same with my laptop). But I had a voltage converter, just in case...

The Canon camcorder manuals are readily available at the Canon web site.

For example, if you are using a Canon ZR930,

go to Drivers & Downloads, download the manual and refer to page 5 in the second rectangular box near the bottom of the page... or Page 70 under "Power Sources"... or Page 78.
