Handy Battery ChargerJune 13, 2010 Fred Dagg(New Zealand) This is not incredibly cheap but its a good product. Particularly for travelling. It fits well into my camera bag.
Nice To Have AccessoryMay 20, 2010 C. Stephens(Hampton, VA USA) Sure you can charge the camcorder battery in the camera but this makes it so much eaiser and quicker. I like it!
Canon CG-800 Battery Charger is Great.April 11, 2010 Kirk J. Hockman(Topeka, KS USA) I finally purchased the Canon CG-800 Battery Charger, wished that I had bought it a long time ago. It charges the batteries better than if they are charged on the video camera.
Worth the money for the convenience and less wear and tear on your camcorder.
Great Small Charger!April 7, 2010 Dennis R. Birchenough I bought this and paired it with the Canon BP-827 (read my review).
Very similar to the Canon S90 charger or Sony Cybershot chargers, but with different connection points. The two prong plug folds into itself in order to compact the size, so nothing is sticking out.
It plugs in flat to the outlet, with the battery slightly sticking out.
An LED turns from orange to green to let you know the battery is charged.
Small, light weight, great travel size and won't take up much room in your camera bag.
The only thing is, you could easily lose this or forget to bring it with you all together. Work on forming new habits!
I plan to use this as my main charger and probably won't even use the charger that plugs into the camera because it's just a wad of wires and is just a pain.
Alternately, it's just a piece of plastic that should cost a lot less. I just wish the universal charger I already have for my Canon S90 photo camera would accept the Vixia line of batteries.
But, the reason I like my other charger, is the same reason I like this one. Very happy with this purchase even with the outrageous cost. If you can find a generic one or universal one for cheaper (that doesn't compromise killing your battery) or even a used one for cheaper, go for it.
