Does the charger also have a usb port ? Or do I have to throw it in the camera to charge if I am using a solar charger unit.

You cradle the battery in the charger directly, then plug the charger into the wall. The prongs fold in for easy travel and there is a European attachment. No USB, and no charging in the camera.

Yes it does. One end of the charger cable plugs directly into the camera, the other end plugs into a small power unit (about 2"x2"x1"), which plugs into a wall electric socket. The same cable also allows the camera to connect to a USB port on a computer, to offload images. Hope that helps.

Yes it comes with a usb cable it is part of the cable that you use to charges the camera

Yes, the charger comes in the camera box. Nice charger, it has prongs that open up and plug directly into the outlet. Very convenient.

Yes, just plug charger into wall and plug cable into the small USB port on the camera and the battery will charge. And to clarify, it should also be picking up a charge by plugging the cable into any laptop or desktop, since almost all USB ports transmit power as well as data.

No, the battery charger is separate. You take the battery out of the camera to charge it, at least for my model. I believe all Sony cameras work that way.

It does have a USB port, but it is one of the small newer one (micro USB?) and is used to charge the battery in the unit It never occurred to me that it might also be a source of power for other units. I am curious to see if someone responds who does know.

Nope, no USB port,...you're probably seeing the port where the charger plugs in

By default it has a wall plug that does in Camera Charging Only. I purchased a Wasabi External Charger with 2 extra batteries to have an external charger. I think the 2 batteries and the charger with a extra bits (cigarette lighter plug and 240V adapter) was around $20.

it comes with a "micro USB cable" which allows you to charge camera by hooking into a USB port.. there is also an AC adapter that let's you plug the micro USB cable into an electric socket to charge. Memory card is "sold seperately". It takes an SDHC memory card that is not included with the camera. I had a micro SDHC card with an SDHC adapter that I put in my camera. I love this camera. The pictures it takes are absolutely incredible for a point & shoot camera. It comes highly recommended!

I will admit up front that I don't have a very good answer for you. The answer may require more research about your solar charger. Here's what I know... The charging cable *is* a USB cable, and the power supply that came with my WG-3GPS camera provides a USB connection and is labeled 5V 1A output. The camera documentation indicates it requires the battery be charged before connecting to a computer for file transfer and provides warnings about battery running down during transfer. I find that very odd, suggesting the camera won't charge from the computer port. Typically PC's provide only 0.5A on the built-in USB connectors. The user manual (available for download -- we'll see if the link I paste here will stay [http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/man-pdf/wg3.pdf]) also warns about using other chargers because they might cause damage or overheating. It also mentions the Qi wireless charging standard is supported, but I've never tried it. If your solar panel can't deliver 1A, maybe you can use it to trickle charge a "charging" battery pack that can provide the higher current. For longer battery life, definitely you need to turn off the GPS when you aren't actively taking pictures, and avoid using the pressure sensor too.

You are correct. There is no external charger included, but as the other answer says, you can get a Sony charger easily, I did. Great charger. But - after having this camera a while, I started to love the fact that it charges with a standard micro-USB cord. I have them everywhere, for my phones, tablets, charger packs, mice, etc...it's turned out to be very handy. No matter where I am, I can just plug it in.

A usb(olympus plug) cable with a wall outlet usb port is imcluded. The wall outlet connects to the usb cable, the usb cable plugs directly to the camera to charge the battery. A specific battery charger, one that plugs into the wall and accepts the actual battery removed from the camera, is not included.

As I remember, I didn't get a charger with the camera and I bought one online. It is a Wasabi and it supports 240V. If you have a charger, it should say what it supports.

No it doesn't have a usb port, but the charger that it comes with on one end has the usb connector and can be used to plug into a computer with a usb port.

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?

No, the charger doesn't have any USB port. May be you can look for some sort of adapter.
