Nikon provides two different battery chargers for the S8200, which are opposite in almost every respect. The EH-69P, which comes with the camera, charges the battery inside the camera using the USB cable. It plugs directly into the AC outlet, which means no separate power cord to pack around and/or lose. The MH-65, has a cradle to charge the battery outside the camera, but it has a separate power cord (does not plug directly into the AC outlet). I suppose Nikon is trying to satisfy

Needs to be improved
I just purchased the Nikon MH-65 charger for my new Coolpix S9100. The charger works fine but the design does not meet today's standards in my opinion. My 4 year old Panasonic has a charger that plugs directly into a wall outlet. The Nikon MH-65 charger uses a long electrical cord to plug into power. The Coolpix S9100 is small and light weight. It seems counter intuitive to me that the charger would require the use of a separate power cord which adds to the weight and amount of extras

Great Charger
Unlike the other reviews, I love that this charger has a cable. I can snake the cable to an outlet and sill have the actual charger up on the desk so I can easily get to it without crawling around the floor. I also don't have to worry if some power brick is going to take up too much space and prevent me from using all the outlets.

Not good for travel
Why the humongous cord?? People who purchase this battery charger need to realize there is a big, fat, 6 foot long, heavy appliance cord that is thick as (or even thicker than) an extension cord that is needed to plug this charger into the outlet. It does NOT have prongs contained in the charger itself, like chargers I've had for other cameras. It doesn't fit into my little camera accessory bag, doesn't even fit into the inside pocket of my carry-on! Why can't Nikon build a charger with the

MH-65 Battery Charger
I just received the Nikon AW100 as a gift. How disappointing to find that the battery charger that came with the camera does not just plug into the wall but has a long cord instead. Definitely not travel friendly. Most definitely needs to be redesigned.

POORLY DESIGNED BATTERY CHARGER FOR AW100
This battery charger for the AW100 camera is extreemly outdated and ill designed. The bulky, long power cord needed to make the charger work is just added weight and space to carry around. This charger should plug directly into the wall, like the one I use for a Fugitsu that I bought 3 years ago! Either redisign the rechargable battery charger, or better yet, just design the camera to use regular batteries that can be purchased easily all over the world!

Love the extension cord!
I love the extension cord feature. This allows me to (1) not hog valuable outlet space, and (2) I can have the charger readily accessible sitting on my desk (no crawling around to the nearest outlet). Some others complain about this feature claiming for one that it adds to bulk to the otherwise light weight travel package. I don't carry an AC charger on hikes - it stays back at the hotel or vehicle. I simply hike with two batteries and one is typically all I ever need.

Tragic Design
I just purchased the Coolpix AW100 and it came with this charger. The camera ROCKS but this charger is enough to make me question Nikon's thinking as to the entire package. The cord is six feet long. A good charger design plugs right into the outlet with flip-out prongs. Why did Nikon pair such a well designed camera with such an outdated charger. Now, I get to go and purchase a third party charger that makes sense - NO power chord. Nikon needs to take a cue from Apple. If it is in the box, get

Too heavy and bulky. Charger and a ridiculous cord.
I may return this camera just because of the charger. I came from a Panasonic lumix. The charger has the plug built into it. No cord. Just what I dont want when packing light is Nikon's setup. Not shown in pics.
