    Folks,

    I have the chance to get a Nikon D50 from the US , but Im a bit worried about the charger voltage, I know most chargers are 100v – 240v but Nikon seem to have a En-El3A battery in the states and an En-El3E battery in Europe - just wondering if someone with a D50 can put my mind to rest !!!!!!
    Anyone got one from the US?? Is it 100-240v input?

    Thanks!

    If it's the same charger as the D70s (MH-18A) then yes its 100-240V.

    EDIT: Just checked on a US site and it's the same so you're OK

    The EN-EL3e batteries are just slight improvements on the predecessors, the EN-EL3 and 3a, i.e. just higher capacity, the physical charactersitics are identical. The charger is the same though, i.e. the MH-18a for all these batteries, and it's 100-240v, 50-60Hz. The other thing will maybe be that you'll have the wrong plug on the charger lead, but you can either snip it off and put a 13A plug on, buy an adapter, or just buy a replacemant lead with a moulded plug (it's a standard IEC type, so you may, like me have a few of these lying about already).

    Great, Yeah I can live with sticking a three pin plug top on alright!

    The D50 is a decent slr in the lower price range, most of the reviews say a great camera to get started with and from checking it out , it has everything I need at a price im happy to pay!

    Im getting it in B&H in new york, its probably not the cheapest place in the US to get it but a friend of mine is going over and he's picking up some stuff himself and offered to get me the D50.

    650 dollars + 8% sales tax , still cheaper than any online european store.
