canon digital camera battery charger image
Linda
Looking to buy a charger for LP-E5 batteries for my digital SLR Canon camera, should I go with the $40 Canon charger or a much cheaper $15 off-brand that also includes two extra batteries and a car adapter? Anyone got any experience with off-brand chargers?
Answer
I prefer to use OEM batteries and the OEM charger for them. The charger can read the battery and charge it accurately so that it does not overheat/overcharge to prevent swelling (and possibly becoming a fire hazard). The other nice thing about using OEM batteries is that if it damages your camera, repairs are handled by the manufacturer.
Some people don't have a problem with the third party batteries, a fellow photog wasn't so lucky. He had a battery leak in his camera (as a result of over charging), and spent several hundred to get the camera cleaned and repaired. The battery company only offered to send him a replacement battery.

On vacation, put my memory card into a different camera and it says there are no photos?

I have a Canon Digital Rebel Xsi and had a memory card packed with photos in it. The camera's battery ran out and I forgot to put the charger, so I put my card in my dad's Nikon D40x and it says there are no photos on the card?! I'm on an old computer with no memory card slot so I can't check on there.
Any idea what happened? Is it because the camera doesn't recognize pics from another camera, or are the photos gone? Can they be recovered?
Answer
That is right. Don't worry, the photos are still there, but you cannot expect different cameras to "see" image files shot with another camera model, especially a different brand.
For under $10 you can buy a USB 2.0 card reader and copy your images to any computer you like.
You will notice that the image files your camera produces are called IMG_1234 and your dad's are called DSC_1234
While they are both JPEG files, the different naming conventions preclude your dad's camera from seeing them
