Strengths: Easy use. Small and compact for travel.
Weaknesses: Needs space to plug in. Not convenient with surge protectors.
Summary: I got this charger for the battery with my Canon S30. It is very easy to use. You just stick the battery in and the LED will show red for not fully charged. When it's green, the battery is ready to go. Initially, a full charge took 1-2 hours but later on in a year or two, charging took 3-4. This is probably due to the battery itself and not the charger.
What's nice about the charger is that the batteries for more updated versions of the Canon S30 series are the same. If you upgrade your camera within that series, it will likely use the same size battery and therefore, you'll have a spare charger for charging multiple batteries at a time or for use when traveling.
The outlet prongs fold in and out of the charger to save space for packing which is nice. However, it is not always convenient for plugging into a surge protector. I don't have any wall outlet jacks free so I run an extension cord from my surge protector and just plug non everyday objects into and out of it as needed (battery chargers, irons, etc.).
I like Canon products and they were smart to make them use the same batteries and chargers. This makes old equipment less obsolete and reusable. I'd recommmend this as a good solution for a good product.
