Hi,

Just reading this thread 'cos Im looking into getting a solar panel and noticed sum1 was asking about windup phone chargers - millets currently have little ones for a tenner but they dont have all types of phone charger connections in them.

I've ordered one of the 12w Sunlinq Solar Chargers (thats 'www.selectsolar.co.uk/pics/sunlinq.php'), coming from the US and unfortunately, doesn't look like it's going to arrive before I head to the hills tomorrow.
I specifically want it to charge a Nikon DSLR battery. When I've had a chance to try it out I'll let you know how it performs.

Not sure how it performs yet, still to try it out in the wild, but have a look at Solio hybrid charger. perfect for the british summer as it contains it's own rechargebale batteries which can be pre-charged from the main, and topped up in the field, or can be charged from flat in the sun. By putting a pencil through the hinge in the middle it can also be stood up and directed at the sun for efficiency. it's quiet pricey, but from a full charge it will apparently fully charge a mobile phone 4-5 times from flat.

For those looking at car chargers for Canon's (and I assume Nikons too for those not loucky enough to have a decent camera ;-) ) then Jessops do an own brand car charger for £20ish. Works a treat. PITA to find on their awful website, but they have them in stock.
