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.

Prior to purchasing this battery charger, due to time constraints, I gave into temptation and tried a generic brand. Result: Wasted time, Wasted money and most importantly poor, poor results. If you value your pictures from your Canon camera, buy Canon and only Canon--Amazon had the best cost and my charger was brand new. LUV IT!

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.

This charger has worked good for me for a very long time.

Although I had problems with a particular power strip. When I plugged the charger into this power strip it would light up like it was charging but not actually charge the battery. The power strip worked fine otherwise.

wanted a factory part for my battery even though a cheap one would probably work fine. My other cameras have the cordless chargers with pop out plug and plugs right into you outlet, and I wanted that for my 40D, very portable. Once you get the flashing light figured out to tell your battery status it works great.
