OAproda Replacement Ultra Slim Micro USB Camera Battery charger LP-E8 for Canon EOS 550D/600D/650D/700D
Recently I somehow managed to displace the battery charger for my Canon Digital Rebel SLR Camera, and when I contacted local camera stores in search of replacement I was shocked with the price – I was told that it would cost $60. I decided to check out if they had that or similar products on Amazon, and sure enough I found plenty of options. I was equally surprised to find a few chargers, such as this one, that cost only a few $$. I was at first skeptical, but I figured out that even if the product didn’t work out as I had hoped the “damage” to my wallet would be minimal.
The charger arrived quickly in the mail. Even though the manufacturing quality is not as good as the original Canon one, the product looks and feels solid enough. The charger is extremely compact, and unlike the original Canon charger it uses a simple micro USB cable for charging. This is especially convenient when you travel overseas, and don’t want to worry about yet another specialized charging adapter to carry around. The battery charged quickly, pretty much as well as with the original charger, although I don’t usually time these things.
Overall I am extremely satisfied with this product and will probably get a spare one very soon.
