    I need to buy some plugs for travelling around Europe. I know I could get a plug adapter, but have a preference not to do this.

    Need to buy for smartphone, camera and vape. I will bring the USB cables, jut need to buy the plugs

    All are USB cables to power adapter.

    What are the key requirements and how far can I deviate from them, e.g. my camera (UK/IRL) adapter says the following:-

    Input ~ 110V-240V
    50/60Hz 0.2A
    Output == 5V 800mA

    Just trying to better understand the importance of the above specs.

    No some of usb will just carry data and won't charge your devices. Plugs for devices are all different and will charge at different rates, travel adapter in the euro shop is the way to go.
