If I take this abroad (to Italy) from the US, will I need a converter in addition to an adapter?

Yes, all Nikon Coolpix cameras have an auto switching (from 100v to 240V 50hz/60hz) battery charger that will work in most countries around the world. AC adapters have similar characteristics. Always check the specification plate on your other battery chargers or AC adapters as third party products may not support dual voltage systems. We do not suggest the use of third party battery chargers and AC adapters with Nikon equipment. Note that the power cord included with some Nikon chargers or AC adapter is designed for 110 volt use only. A power cord suitable for the local power system should be obtained on arrival, most airport shops and computer suppliers will carry these items which are typically used for laptop computer power supply connections. Be sure that the new cord you buy fits the Nikon adapter you wish to use it with and that it is rated for the voltage in your new location. While not recommended, a simple plug adapter may be used, but caution should be taken as the cord Nikon supplies is not rated for the higher voltage and may heat or fail. Some newer Coolpix have included an AC Adapter, for plugging directly into a wall outlet without the use of a power cord. As with previous chargers, the correct adapter must be acquired for the country traveled to, and fitted to the Nikon AC adapter to allow proper AC connection to the wall outlet.

This is not a voltage converter. It is merely an adapter that allows you to use either the two- or three-pronged plug. Both are used in Italy. You still need a converter to change from 220 volt to 110 volt current. Most computers have a switch on the back that allows you to select either voltage. Then you would need an adapter to change from the US 3-prong plug to the Italian 2- or 3- prong plug.

wife used it in Rome - so should be same in France - did not need a power converter - just the two prong adapter

Yes. Because it is a converter plus adapter, anything can be charged with it. Many things can accept 220 volt input and therefore, don't need a converter. But this device covers it all.

This has all the adapters and connections in it. No need for any converters. I used it for my cell phone, fitbit and laptop. My co-traveler did it for the camera.

I used mine evrywhere... USA, France, Switzerland, Italy and Asia... In Italy and Switzerland, you may need a nother adapter but in other countries, the adapter that comes with it is sufficient. 110 and 220 options are really for travelers. Very happy with the purchase

You must look on your power supply, charger. Most of the newer ones are made for an input of 50-60 cycles 110-240 volts AC input(they usually use switching technology). Should work ok. Italy uses 50 cycles at 240 volts AC if I remember correctly.

You shouldn't need any extra converter aside from what's included in the kit. I didn't have any issues with devices/appliances during my travels. Just make sure your hotel can accommodate the wattage of your device.

I would find out what the electrical specifications are for the country you are going to and then purchase an adapter if one is needed. Should be easy enough.

of course you will need an adapter, as you will for any plug-in electrical device that normally plugs into a USA socket. You couldn't plug this in in any Western European country, as the plug configuration is different. These adapters are easy to find. MIne came from Radio Shack.

I think you would need a converter for the plug, just like the ones used for most U.S. appliances in Europe.

No, this is all you need except the appropriate adapter for whatever country you are in that has 220 voltage and want to change it to 110 to keep from frying your electronics.

Yes, you just need a plug adapter (NOT a voltage changer) for use in Europe.

If you only use the USB ports, you do not need a down-converter. It will convert any input voltage (110 to 250VAC) to the 5V 2.1A USB ports on the device. If it will physically plug in, it will work fine for USB.If you want to plug things into the AC outlet on the front of the adapter, then the thing you plug in MUST support the voltage of the country you are visiting. Check the adapter or device to make sure it supports that voltage. If it does not, it will destroy the thing you are plugging in.

yes but you will need us to europe converter plug, different for different countries in europe

In my experience, you will need a voltage converter for almost everything. Definitely anything worth more than $15, as it's really easy to ruin electronics from power surges or incorrect voltage. For longer trips abroad, I try to buy small appliances like hairdryers there so that I don't have to worry about it.

It depends on the charger's specifications. The adapter changes only the shape of the plug; it doesn't convert voltage. US voltage is 120; Italy's is 220. Many electronic components automatically switch between 120 and 220 volts; if your charger does that then it's good to go. For instance, I had no trouble whatsoever with my laptop and my smartphone charging, but my sister fried her hair dryer because it was 120 volts only.
