is anyone using a USB charger to charge their camera battery on the go?
Since the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III appears to have a rather dismal battery life, I was wondering if anyone had any experience using a USB charger to recharge their batteries on the go from something like a power bank. https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/can...ark-iii-review How long would it take to recharge a battery? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lemix-Charg...rger+for+canon It seems an interesting option, since you would be able to use the power bank to recharge the smartphone as well as a spare camera battery and the smartphone can also be used to operate the camera remotely for candid street photography (with the camera inconspicuously hanging on the neck strap). Thx in advance for any feedback! |

Not sure about Canons. I used a solar rechargeable USB power bank with great success in my April NZ cruise. Left it in the balcony every morning to catch the rays. Then in the evening charged the phone, Samsung tablet and the batteries for one of my cameras in no time at all. For some reason, those things charge a lot faster than normal transformer-based chargers. I reckon it's something to do with the high current capacity of those power bricks. Mine came with cables I can use to jump start a car if needed. It starts my son's 4-Cylinder Subaru Forester in seconds! Amazing technology, really. Particularly considering it's all solar powered! |
