Advantages: Good value for money Disadvantages: Takes a long time to charge batteries
I had been intending to purchase a batterycharger for quite a while. In fact I had even dropped hints to certain family members around Christmas time, but to no avail. I was recently reminded of this missing piece of equipment in my life when I rediscovered the PC lead to my digital camera.

Overall the charger is quite ...
