The picture shows the AC cord with the charger..I ordered this item thinking the AC cord was included only to find it was not when the item arrived. Even if the features list mentions that the AC cord is not included, it would help if the picture depicted the same. I had to order another time to get the power cord!

The Charger works fine. However, I had to order this item twice froom Amazon and both times it arrived without the power cord. I finally contacted Pentax directly and they were kind enough to send me the power cord direct to me at no charge. I would caution anyone ordering this item from Amazon to add a comment asking that they check to see that the power cord is included before shipping your order.

They should check their orders better. This came incomplete, without a plug. Not very competent on Amazon.com's part. The picture should match what they send.

Was very disappointed with order. Thought the order was deceiving, since the picture showed a cord with the charger, but did not come with one.
Pretty hard to use without a cord.

when i order this item i was inspecting the whole charger inc. the cord. very disapointed with the seller. they should only show pics. as is not with added things to it... i wouldnt order anything else from here. thank you now i have to spend $$$15.00 more plus shipping somewhere elso for the cord not happy...:-(

I lost my original battery charger and need a replacement. It was easy to locate on amazon.com and the price was right.
It is the original part, with the power cord included.

I got exactly what I wanted at 1/3 of the price in a store. It was easy to find, easy to buy, and less expensive.

The Pentax D-BC8 charger is similar to other chargers for lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, but is a bit smaller, which is convenient. Compared to similar chargers with cords by Olympus and Nikon, this one is probably 25% lighter and smaller, which helps when packing it for travel, etc. If buying one, just make sure it comes with the power cord, though! However, it can use any "figure 8" or shaver-type cord, if you had one from an old AC adapter or unused small appliance. Or you can also find figure 8 cords for about $2 at Radio Shack.

Very pleased with product, all that was promised.

Pentax charges too much ($48) for this recharger and does not include the AC power cord to make it work! For another ($11), you can get the AC power cord. There are less expensive alternatives.
