Can anyone recommend a good external battery charger? Is it worth it to get one or just as easy to charge through camera?

I highly recommend the external charger and an extra battery, so you can be shooting with one while the other is charging. I bought this charger: Panasonic PADEA65BB DE-A65BB Battery Charger for DMW-BCG-10 and this spare battery: Panasonic PADMWBCG10PP DMW-BCG10PP ID Secured Battery They both work well.

There is included a power cord that plugs into the camera and charges the battery in the camer. If you want to charge the battery outside of the camera you have to buy and external charger which several of the reviews have listed and which I purchased. This gives you a couple of extra batteries as well as an external charger at a very reasonable price.

No issue charging battery. I purchased extra batteries with external charger. Touch screen works great!:) Very Happy with this camera.

It requires a micro-usb power cord, that can be attached either to a computer or an outlet. There is no external battery charger, and batteries will only charge in the camera.

Hello there. Yes, I bought this myself and it works for charging the original battery as well. I have the same camera and mine did not come with a external charger. This works great.

There is an external battery charger available on amazon. Do a search for the batteries and the charger will appear as a recommendation

We've got an older 3.1 MP Kodak camera and we just use a 4-battery stand-alone charger. Charges 4 batteries in a couple hours. I bought the charger at Wal-mart for like $15 or something. More convenient than lugging around the dock.

The charger is the camera and the extra Wasabi does not come with an external charger..think they might be available..warranty on the extra battery is unknown but they can be replaced in the $30 range..this is the best deal and I'm very pleased with the seller.

There is no external charger indeed, but an AC/DC adapter is provided so you can plug in the camcorder with its battery in it for recharging.The battery provided by default is the BP-809 model which is good for 1 hour of recording in highest quality.I bought the BP-827 as an extra, it provides 3 hours of recording, the same capacity as a 32GB SDHC card. I suggest you match the battery to the size of your memory card. Beware of cheaper third party batteries that use the same model names as Canon but don't show the battery life status on the camcorder.

Yep you can charge via outlet. There is a battery you can take out but I don't believe u can charge it outside the camera...(perhaps there is a special adapter that might allow it). And yes battery does come with camera.

A separate battery charger (included with the camera) is required. You must take the battery out of the camera to charge it. Hence, you should have two (or more) batteries. I really prefer disposable batteries.

Yes, you need an adaptor with USB charging cable provided by Samsung (AD44-00179A with CB5MU05E) to charge the battery placed in the camera. They come with the original package. Don't just buy external battery charger made by others. I tried it but it never worked!

Does anyone know if you can re-charge the battery through the USB port while it is still in the camera or only with the charger?

The battery is an external one and it is included. There is no external charger for the battery, it is charged via a USB cord and plug which are also included once the battery is connected to the camera. It can charge from a wall outlet or computer.

Amazon sells an inexpensive external 3rd party battery charger - works great

The battery charges in the camera through a USB-to-wall outlet connector. You can buy a charger specifically for the battery if you want though.
