Hi casey im just back and my phone charged no probs just with a normal 3to 2 pin plug adaptor but my camera wouldn't. I needed a voltage converter (you can get them cheap in the airport)

If you look at your charger you'll probably see a little sticker/infoplate on it with something like ~110-220 on it somewhere. Most chargers can now handle the different voltages and you just need an adapter to fit the US plugs.

Check though. Because some dont.
