cant agree with you more.. I have known of 2 issues of damage Iphone due to charger.. one unit was a total write off and the other the USB module need to be replace.. Lucky, for the owners, phone submodules are cheap and so is the service cost.. I will not say the same for camera.. as we can see in earlier posting RM40 just to looksee and 700 to replace mother board ... Also the Sony Mircro USB is not just USB as is. it is a highbreed and on its reverse side there are numerous micro pins. 10 if not wrong that is use for wired remote control for the camera.. I will not want to stuff up that connector just because of charging via battery is OK..
More important for me - is the charge time .. it just take too long to charge via USB. My usual day outing will run down 2-3 battery when I am on happy shooting spree days.. it take a good 2-3 hours to charge each cell.. and it will be more than twice that time via USB... no I want my contiguous sleep every night and not wake up to babysit the battery charger. When travelling in remote and 3rd world country where power source could come from back garden generators.. I will not want to predict the consequence. Cheaper to stuff my charger than the camera ..
it is better to be safe than to be too depend on technology to provide the safe buffer. I have been an electronics engineer for over 30 years and never a day do I trust Murphy..
