This charger is great, and well worth the extra 20 or 30 bucks it costs over a knockoff.

1. it is small, it plugs right into the wall, and the plug prongs fold in.

2. there is no brick on the end of a cord to truck all over. no cord at all actually.

3. you know it is quality, and wont damage the expensive batteries.

you spend 40 or 50 bucks on a battery, then go to ebay to find the cheapest POS charger you can find. they dont charge as well, as quickly, and with some batteries, they just dont charge at all. This charger charges all batteries I have to a much better charge, and is 1/4 the size. This one is small enough to go right into my camera bag. love it.

This charger is great. No cord to trip over or store. Batterys charge quickly and charger fits in your pocket or camera case pocket with no cord to become tangled with other accessories. Great, great product.

I'm actually here buying a replacement for the charger that came with my EOS 20D. I was always very happy with the charger. Because it was dual voltage I took it to Europe, and it worked just fine. But now that I'm home it doesn't work any longer. It seemed to adapt just fine to the higher voltage in Europe, but won't re-adapt to the lower, domestic voltage. Maybe it didn't want to come home from Florence, but vacations end. Chargers shouldn't end with them. Probably a fluke occurrence, but I'll pass it on.

My daughter has the Canon EOS40D, and uses it constantly since she is a dual major and anthropology is one of them. She paid a fortune for it so we were more than a little dismayed when the battery charger went missing. After much seachering, we gave up and ordered this. It is the same charger that came with the camera, so she is up and shooting again. I was very pleased that we were able to replace it with a Canon for such a reasonable price. All other sites we check wanted much more.

Its by Canon, so what can I say? Awesome product made by Canon! No regrets! Does its job & battery last long under
heavy or light use.

Product arrived on time and as per photo but the photo did not show the back and when I turned it over I was surprised to find US style 2 pin plug. I then sent off for a US to UK adapter. When that arrived I tried to plug the two pin plug in but there was a piece of plastic inside covering the holes. OK I thought, unscrew the back and take out the plastic. No such luck, the "screws" are triangular headed so no screwdriver I have or have seen anywhere in the shops would fit!!! I don't know if these triangular headed screws are US or European as it says on the back EURO ES988 and BS5733 13A 230V. I realise these are only safety standards that it adheres to.

I had to return this product because it was defective upon opening. There was something that rattled like a loose screw when turned. For an electrical product I dare not take the chance to plug it in.

This was a replacement as the first was misplaced. I have had no issues with this product in the past. Canon rocks!! Overall experience was great and product arrived in a timely fashion. Go Amazon!!

This is a factory replacement. It works as well as the original before I accidently plugged mine in upside down. This shouldnt have made a difference but it did and I'm glad that I was able to find it here at a good price. Also had to buy a new battery. Dont plug the charger in upside down.

It was worth buying this name-brand charger even though it was a little more expensive. Piece of mind knowing its not going to burn your house down, I suppose.
