Yup. I sourced my new Camera in the US and saved US$1500 in the process
(including Shipping & VAT). The charger works just fine in the UK and in
other parts of Europe. Easiest thing is to replace the lead - about four
quid at Maplin. I've actually got three leads in my camera case for it (one
US, one French and one UK).

Thought about it but the lead has a "capicator" type of unit in the
middle and was not sure what this was for. The adaptors in Maplin were
just straight wires.

Mine certainly doesn't. The original lead was just a straight wire and the
Maplin ones work just fine. If you've got a spare plug then a bare wire
figure-of-eight plug and lead is under GBP2.

I looked at a "UK" Canon charger and it was completely identical.
