4.0 out of 5 stars I just wished SONY included this charger with my P200 !!!, March 15, 2005

I hope SONY will read this and start including this type of charger with their high-end cameras like Canon does! I was dismayed when I saw the HUGE charger that came with my SLEEK P200 ultracompact camera. The cord is at least 3 feet long! And it takes hours to charge. This charger takes 80 mins. I only gave it 4 stars because I didn't appreciated having to pay $50 for something that I feel should have been FREE. BUT it's a great charger. It simply plugs into an outlet and your battery is FULLY CHARGED in only 80 mins. Best of all, there are no long cords to have to store. This is so compact that you can carry it with you. Perfect for travel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Necessary Accessory, June 4, 2006

This little charger has been great. It smaller than it appears in the photo, charges quickly, and doesn't heat up. It's certainly easier to travel with than the bulky in camera charging set up that came with my T-series camera. It's just a shame that SONY doesn't include it with the camera.

I travel for a living. I am sick to death of all the cords, wires, connectors, adapters, etc. that go with today's assortment of electronic miracles. It is bad enough with the stuff I have to carry, like my computer, my shaver, etc., but for the voluntary fun stuff, like my digital camera, it is intolerable. Enter the Sony battery charger. No more connectors, etc. Just drop the battery in it and plug it into the wall. Anywhere! i use it all over North and South America. I just toss it into the suitcase and off I go. Also, it charges FAST. Wouldn't be without it! Also, as usual, Amazon delivered a great product with great speed and efficiency.
