What is necessary to "plug in" a US electronic device/appliance in Europe?
Taking my first trip to Europe in a week. I'm bringing my digicam and the battery charger. What do I need to plug in and charge my batteries?

I know the voltages are different in Europe, so do I need a voltage converter as well as an adapter for the different plug shapes? The charger runs off 12V DC input at 500mA.

Also, where would be a good place to buy the voltage converter and/or plug adapter? Home Depot, Fry's, etc. Thanks.

BTW the countries I'll be going through are Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
