Digital camera reviews of Sony BCG-34HRMF4 Battery Charger with LCD Display and 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries
Digital camera Review: Best on Amazon
Summary: 5 Stars
Of what I saw when I was looking, this is the best charger and battery set on amazon right now. Best feature set and best batteries (2300mah) for the price. The refresh feature is a must and the LCD readout is very nice looking. Go for it.
UPDATE: Since I first wrote this review, the price gone up a bit, so it might not be the best for the price any more. I will say, however, and I am still completely satisfied with the performance of the unit and the batteries. The batteries do very well in my Canon A510 digital camera, lasting for quite a while with casual use. Still recommended.
Digital camera Review: Best purchase ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this in gray in 2007 along with two extra 4pk sets of the Sony 2500 mah batteries (gave me 12 in all). Have three cameras that use these batteries, still going strong, so is the charger. Have never gone to use a camera and found a dead battery, and some sit for quite a while. I have four grand-daughters, am a bird watcher, etc. so I take lots of pictures. I wish all my purchases would last this well.Digital camera Review: Better value than you might think
Summary: 5 Stars
It's worth pointing out that the Amazon description is for the BCG-34HRMD4, which is replaced by this BCG-34HRMF4. So, the included batteries you get are actually 2700mAh instead of 2300.
When you take that in to consideration and subtract the value of the batteries, you're getting a VERY nice charger
with an LCD for about $13.
No, it isn't "super quick" by any comparison other than overnight trickle chargers. But again, for $13, that's less than a decent trickle charger will cost you.
Digital camera Review: Brilliant - a "must-have"
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't know how many rechargeable batteries I've retired over the last few years because of memory effect.. this solves that issue brilliantly with the 'refresh' function, as well as not overcharging once the batteries are fully charged (the heat generated from overcharging can also damage rechargeable batteries). Purchased the Sony BCG-34HRMF4 battery charger specifically for the Canon SX10IS camera I recently purchased, but this is great for any Ni-MH rechargeable, both AA and AAA size, and I'm now replacing all the batteries in the house accordingly, particularly the TV and video remotes.
The 4 batteries supplied with the charger are Sony 2700mAh rated AA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, which is actually better than I expected!
Digital camera Review: Broken in less than 24 hours
Summary: 1 Stars
I was pretty happy to receive this in the mail the other day, but excitement turned to disappointment when it was broken in less than 24 hours use. 1 of the 4 AA battery slots no longer works. Not at all the level of quality I expect from Sony.
If you buy one, be sure to keep your packing slip and packing material in case you need to return it.
