Charging in other countries

The charger will work at 100-240 Volts, 50-60 cycles so you do not need a transformer. (It is written very faintly and very small print on the charger.) But you will need a plug adapter so you can plug it into their outlets.

Hi ccsmcm,

You should be good just get the travel kit from apple: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY

I think that you mean the cord from the charger to the wall. That's where the higher voltage is present. It's not a problem at all. The cord is deliberately designed accordingly. If you care, the details are...

Wire size concerns are more related to current (amperage) than to voltage. The charger electronics controls the current from the charger to the device which indirectly controls the current from the wall to the charger.

By the way, the comment about your camera does not sound correct. I suspect that you may have misread the information. Is that information available as a link? I'd like to read it myself.

Who would have thought that people might take a camera to another country? Sounds like a "fail" by Nikon.

If you are concerned about your Apple cord then you must talk to them but I doubt there is a problem. If there is then look closely at the power adapter, slide off the cable that connects it to the wall to reveal a "figure-8" socket then buy a cable in the country you are visiting.
