I have bought a digital camera in US and the salesman assured me that
the power supply will work in UK. Before I plug it in, I will
appreciate a reconfirmation please.

The power supply unit states:

Input : 100-240V~50/60Hz

Well, the US is 110v 60Hz and we're 230v 50Hz, so it's ok.

0.12A
Output : 5.3V---1A The line between 5.3 and 1A has a solid top line
and three broken lines under it.

BTW what Watt does this unit use please?

Its output will be roughly 5.3 watts, and the input no more than 27 watts.

How did you work out the 27W please?

0.12*240V.
Worse case interpretation of the label for input power.
It's likely that it'll be 0.12A at 100V (12W) and probably 6-8W at 240V.

The output power should stay the same.
