I do not understand why USB chargers specify what cameras they will work with and some they won't.
To my way of thinking, a charger should work fine irregardless of brand or model. Is this some kind of sales gimmick to keep people confused and buying more chargers then they need ?
There is no way someone can/will keep track of whether his charger is on some OK list (normally). The makers of the chargers seem to gladly inform you that their chargers will not hurt your equipment, then turn right around and specify what it can be used with, while saying it has special circuitry to tell how to charge a device at maximum safely, this is irresponsible double talk (I call it BS)!
I bought a home charger last week (with all the special circuitry) and have charged devices (very fast) that are NOT on the OK list and are better then the original charger that came with the items by quite a bit. So, I will continue to use the charger on all my devices unless someone here can point out WHY I shouldn't, expressed with facts.
