    Not sure is this the place to put this.

    Anyway I am off to America and am planning on using my samsung n110 netbook out there.

    Just one question.

    Can i use it over there with the different voltage supply from the mains?
    Its not going to blow up in my face :D

    Most modern laptop PSUs support multiple voltages. In that case, all you'll need is an adapter so the pins physically fit into the socket.

    Thats good to hear then, i assume its the same with cameras too. They would be ok out there?

    Yup, I have yet to come across any electronics in the last 10 years that didn't support American and European voltages.

    Probably, but take a quick look at the PSU to make sure.
