If I buy a sony camera in India, will it work in America?

I am planning to buy the new Sony DSC H50. I have to go to the USA in a few months. I was wondering if I would be able to charge its battery with an American charger over there.
I'm asking this because the voltage of power supplied in India and USA is different. So my indian charger won't work there. That's why I want to know if an American charger would work with my camera without any problem.
Thanks.

Examine your charger's label. If it says something like "100-240 vac" then it will accept U.S. voltage which is 110-120 volts AC.

At that point, all you need is a plug adapter to fit US outlets, which is inexpensive.

I believe your camera uses the Sony BC-CSG Charger, which has specifications for worldwide voltage.

Otherwise, if you have to get an "American" charger, it should charge your battery without a problem–all the charger does is take AC (alternating current) and turn it to the right voltage of DC (direct current) to charge the battery.

    Yes. You can use a AC converter to convert the AC Voltage that uses in USA to the voltage that your camera requires. But I think it delivered with a charger that has a switch that you can select the voltage. Please check it out.

    you could use a transformer.

    and also, companies like Sony make sure that their chargers and stuff work from 100-220V. especially when the product is fairly high end (like that camera). my laptop charges fine everywhere. the value for this range should be located on the charger.
