Just curious, for those who have bought the T2i,
which battery charger was included with your
camera? The LC-E8 has the flip-out electrical
outlet prongs, just like the chargers for the 7D
and 5D Mk. II, while the LC-E8E requires a
separate power cord (included in the box).
The manual mentions both, see attached pic.

LC-E8E here.

LC-E8E just got done using it for the first time. The LC-8E is the same style that came with my 30D and I love the simplicity and compactness. But it's not near as versatile when used with a power strip or when travelling.

I have a question. I want to buy the T2i from the States, but I live in Europe. How can I make the charger work? Are there any adapters out there or do I have to find an European charger and buy it separately?

LC-E8E is what seems to be shipping everywhere. it's AC100-240 Volt 50 and 60 Hz. So it will work anywhere. All you need is a new figure 8 power cord and that is an easy to find piece of consumer electronic kit. Almost every consumer electronic device I own has the figure 8 power cord.

Oh, that sounds great. Thanks for the info, Konrad.
