Thanks for all the helpful info and links. My camera runs on AA batteries, so I use rechargable NiMH batteries. So the camera itself does not need to be charged, but my AA batteries do. The wall wart (plug) for the battery charger only specifies input of 120V AC 60Hz 12W. So looks like I need a voltage/frequency converter as well as a plug adapter.

I don't really feel like buying AA batteries over a month. The cost adds up and my camera sucks through them in about 10 min. The rechargables last MUCH longer.

Maybe I could find a European wall wart that outputs the necessary DC 12V 500mA into my battery charger. Could I get one of these stateside within a week?
