you assumed right, it is dual and what you want as tom said.

Thanks guys. As the costs for the trip add up, this is great news.

After getting the answers from Tom and matnikstym confirming that I didn't need a converter, I started looking at some other power supplies that I use on an everyday basis. I am going to Switzerland for work later in the year, taking more electronics and was thinking ahead for once. So I did a little web search and found this site for people, like me, with very little knowledge about electricity. So I thought I would share. It has pictures, along with the explanations that are always helpful to me.

Hope it helps someone else too.

I just got back from a 2 week trip to China with my (new) Canon S3. Same experience with playing around with all the optional settings -- but I did come back with wonderful shots and videos nonetheless.

My Eveready Charger broke down the first time I used it in China, but a friend recharged batteries for me during the trip. I also brought along a big package of Duracell Ultras bought at Costco, and alternated those with the chargeable batteries on a daily basis.

It was nice to have an extra 4 in my bag if I needed them, but found that I could get a whole day's worth of pictures from each set of 4 non-rechargeables....

I set it to M1 and "fine" -- I really don't need to print anything larger than 20x30. I brought 3 2-Gig sandiscs as they were on sale at BestBuy for like $25. Memory that cheap gives you lots of options!

CVS has the Energizer Lithium's on sale for $8.50 US (4-AA).
