camera charging? I have a digital camcorder with a USB out port--can I use this device to charge my camcorder via that USB out port?

Is that how you normally charge the camera? If so, then this device may work ok, but you'd still need to try it. Sometimes devices will not charge unless they have an authorized charger.

No... There is external charger... It can only be charged through USB/data cable provided with camera...

I have used this cord as a charger, it is the primary reason I bought it (not to only transfer data)I can't guarantee it will work for your camera, but it charges mine

Yes you can. the USB charger also acts as a connection for the device. You could also look into a USB Blootooth Adapter. Hope this answers your question.

I use the charger of my iphone or another camera charger that has an USB port.

I always charge my batteries in the charger plugged into an electrical outlet. I have never tried to charge it using a USB cord. I had purchased a dual charger from Amazon for my camera that will work in an electrical outlet and as a car charger. It is really handy when I travel.

This comes with many adapters. If your digital camera has an internal battery it should be able to charge

If the camera support usb charging it has to work. And remember that the more ampere/hour the battery can give the more time it take to charge it. I already try charging my sony camera and it worked. The answer is yes!

I have only used the external charger(LI-400) that came with the camera. When I got any of the replacement batteries I had no problem charging that way, Never used the USB

I have a wall charger for my camcorder and it plugs in at an entirely different place. The HDMI cable I have is used only for displaying on my TV what I have on my camcorder. .

Adding to Louis' answer, I would recommend buying a USB extension cable if this charger works for your camera. The port is located on the bottom of the charger so it is hard to keep the camera plugged in well. An extension would allow you to plug the charger in and place the camera on a surface. Hope this helps.

The usb port is output power only. It will charge cell phones, mp3 players and other devices that use a usb to charge. So the answer to your question is no.

No. This cable is specifically to connect a Nikon D3100 DSLR camera to a computer using a USB. It is not a charger for any other device.

Hello there. Yes, I bought this myself and it works for charging the original battery as well. I have the same camera and mine did not come with a external charger. This works great.

No it cannot be powered via USB, the USB is only used to transfer data from the Camcorder.

As far as I know this device cannot be used while charging. There are a few out there that will with the right drivers that make them function as a webcam. But, usually they will advertise it as one of it's features. It charges through USB, it takes about 2 - 3 hours for a full charge and gives you approx 45min - hour of continuous use.

Yes. I have charged the battery that came with my camcorder on this charger. Just double check the stats on the batterie(s) that come with the charger. If those batteries are compatible with with your camcorder, then so is the charger.
