Yep you can buy a USA to Europe travel adaptor, either at the airport , on the internet or from an electical store. This will allow the USA plug to fit into the eurpoean socket.
A word of warning though The US line voltage is 110V, european live voltage is 230V. You need to check the power suppply / charger for the camcorder to make sure that it is compatible with the European 230V standard, otherwise it will blow up.
