I need to replace the power adapter on my old Sony camcorder. It says "7.2v" on the back of the camera, but all the adapters I can find say "output 8.4v." Can I use one of these adapters? Thanks!

Yes it will be OK. There will be a slight voltage drop on the output of the adapter when it is under load. That is why they are rated slightly higher than what is actually required.

To verify you can check this at the Sony Forums (Support).

I just checked the output of my Sony camcorder AC adapter - it is a Sony brand and the output is DC 8.4V - 1.5A
