    Charging third party 7D batteries

    Thanks - I was assuming that the third party chargers won't be able to charge the specially chipped 7D batteries. ;p If only the Canon batteries weren't so expensive ! regards, Chris

    Charging third party 7D batteries

    Thanks for everyone's replies. Yes, the one I bought is very cheap. I didn't realise there were different types of third party batteries. So there are some third party ones which will charge using the original Canon charger ? I don't want to have to travel with two different chargers...

    Bag recommendation for E-PL1 + 14-42mm + Panny 20mm ?

    Thanks for your reply ! It sounds like the bag is twice as big as what I'm looking since you're fitting in both your cameras. :D I think maybe the Lowepro Apex 60 AW could do the trick. But thanks again for the detailed information.
