Of course, you'll need an adapter overseas for any type of rechargeable battery, proprietary or AA.
Depends this is becoming less and less the case with Europe-- at least those in the EU. Recently visited and did not need all of those adapters .

My experience is that AA batteries don't last that long, esp if you use a flash. The cameras with the rechargeable batteries are the way to go. You can get a couple of spare batteries on ebay for a good price, and you can also get a charger that is adaptable.

Avoid AA batteries - they just dob't last long and have a nasty habit of failing just when you need them.
I had a camera that took 4 AA batteries and lost count of the number of times the batteries suddenly ran out and then found the spares had gone flat as well.
Yes, there are batteries that claim to hold their charge for a year - but I found that they were OK for tape recorders and such but no good for my camera as they couldn't supply the high current needed to write to the card.

There is absolutely nothing better than Eneloop AA 2550 mAh batteries for photo equipment.
Once you try them you will never use any others.
