Traveling to Europe for a few weeks,...do I dare use a power converter on a Nikon?
Europe uses 220
USA uses 110
Will this cause an issue with the camera using a converter? Are they dependable? Any issues?

you just need a different plug, all current chargers work fine all around the world

Most power supplies I know (I go the MH-18a for the EN-EL3a and an older one for a Coolpix) are rated from 100 - 240 V and they auto-detect the voltage. You will only need a different plug. Have a look at the power supply you want to take with you.

I also have the D7000, and looking into the Nikon Battery Charger (MH-25), I can see that it supports 100-240V, ~50/60Hz. That is, the charger can be used world-wide :)
The only thing you need is a different plug (o plug converter)

Most devices now (especially battery chargers and laptops) can function around the world with different voltages and frequencies. Just make sure to check the charger itself, as it is usually labeled there.

Funny you should say that. My Coolpix 3700 from 2003 was purchased from Hong Kong and mailed here. I didn't even account for the voltage difference, we just found a different plug and used it straight in the wall outlet. When I went to Hong Kong for a vacation, I just used the old plug it shipped with.
Very convenient. :D
