Small, Useful, Cheap: Dual USB Battery Charger for FUJIFILM NP-W126/S Batteries

Share

JJC is offering a practical (and cheap) dual USB battery charger for Fujifilm NP-W126/S batteries.

It is just as compact as Fuji’s own battery charger, with the difference that you can charge 2 batteries at the same time via USB. The best news: it costs 1/3 of the Fuji charger :) .

Given that USB charging ports are now widely available on trains, airplanes, cars and more, this could be a good solution for travellers, who want to charge 2 batteries at the same time while on the road.

It is now avaialble at AmazonUS, AmazonCA, AmazonDE, AmazonUK, AmazonIT, AmazonFR, AmazonES.

Here are the main specs:

  • Powered by USB sources, can be used with AC adapter, laptop, power bank or car charger
  • Dual channel for charging batteries, allow you to charge 2 batteries simultaneously
  • Dual LED charging indicators : Indicate red when charging and green when charging is complete
  • The charger is also with overheat and overcharge protection to prevent damage on your batteries
  • Fits Fujifilm NP-W126S NP-W126 battery and NP-W126S NP-W126 replacement from third party. Replaces Fujifilm BC-W126 Charger

Thanks to the FR-reader for informing us last week via email [fujirumor@gmail.com] about it.

JJC Dual Battery Charger for Fujifilm: AmazonUS, AmazonCA, AmazonDE, AmazonUK, AmazonIT, AmazonFR, AmazonES

There are also other dual USB battery charging options, such as the OAproda 2 Pack here, but it’s significantly bigger.

I have written a lot about my different lenses over the years, and I even mentioned the 16-55 lens on my last blog relating to my seven year journey with Fujifilm. I am currently halfway through writing my most recent blog regarding the new style of street photography that I have implemented using the flip out screens on my X-T2’s. However, I have been so excited recently about my 16-55 lens that I have momentarily dropped all other projects, so I can write a long-term review on this wonderful lens.

Canon Sponsors “Next Top Model” TV Show and Fujifilm GFX 50S Shoots It :)

Canon Sponsors, Fuji GFX Shoots

Just a little weekend curiosity :)

You might remember how Canon recently used part of a Fujifilm image to promote their own cameras.

Today we have another example of marketing gone probably not exactly the way Canon hoped… and it’s spotted by Ulf from ukphotography (thanks).

Canon is this years sponsor of the big German TV show “Germany’s next Top Model“.

The sponsorship’s officially declared goal is to promote the Canon EOS M100, a camera that can be considered a competitor to the Fujifilm X-A series, which is extremely successful amongst young women (especially in Asia).

Since this is a “Top Model TV show“, there are some celebrity photographers taking pictures of the aspiring models. Ulf told me that you basically see only Canon cameras in the show, and rarely a Hasselblad (no surprise, given the money Canon pumps into the show). [UPDATE: German FR-readers say that also Nikon appeared in the show, but logo gets blurred]

But well, there is one photographer, Marcus Schäfer (website – exhibitions), who entered the show with the best camera for this kind of job, the medium format Fujifilm GFX 50S :).

The “FUJIFILM” logo is taped (probably in order not to annoy Canon?), but we know it’s that beast.

One more curiosity: the show is moderated by former Top Model Heidi Klum, who is the ex-wife of superstar Seal Samuel, who is a GFX shooter and member of our Fujifilm GFX facebook group :) .

And remember, a HUGE LIVE BLOGGING will be here on FujiRumors for the GF250mmF4 announcement on April 12.

Ulf provided screenshots for us below.
