    Hey all,

    Ok So i just inherited my Dads Canon 10D (YAY!) but we made the exchange while on holiday, and he forgot to pack the battery charger. I'm now home, but with a dead battery. I would love to get out and take some pics, but I won't be able to get to where the charger is until my Dad comes home from his holiday in like, 3 weeks.

    So does anyone know if there's anywhere in town, or one of the camera shops have canon chargers to sell that would fit the 10D battery? I don't even know if it's a standard canon charger or what... I know i could do the leg work myself but it is very rainy, and just in case anyone knew off the top of their heads... Yes, I am that lazy and adverse to getting wet!

    or else does anyone know would it be way too cheeky to ask somewhere if i could charge my battery up on an in house charger? :eek:

    What battery does it take? It should be written on the battery itself.

    bp511 battery
    if this link is right:
    http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EOS-10D-20D-30D/dp/B00192MT5M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1259094473&sr=1-4
    it can use any charger in the 10d to 40d range

    if so, i have a 20d charger you can borrow if you need

    Yeah, it's the BP-511. I also just realised that my dad had tucked away a spare charged battery, so at least i'm not dead in the water and can go on the night walk on thursday... :D:D

    TBH guys, I'd really appreciate a loan of a charger til I can get my dads one... What with it coming up to Christmas there's always loads to photograph!

    PaulW or DotOrg, are either of you planning on going on Thursday, I could maybe get it off you then?

    Thanks a million, you guys are so nice to offer!
