Charge compatible USB-powered phones, tablets and battery packs on the go with this DigiPower ACD-4XRW travel charger that features 4 ports for charging multiple devices at once.
I charged this device up and then put it in my briefcase to have when needed. I didn't need it for a couple of weeks, and it was dead and useless when I pulled it out to use it.
I don't know how long it will hold a charge, but it is not very convenient if I have to re-charge it every day so that it will be ready when I need it. It is like having to fill the air in your spare tire before going out for a drive each day. This could just be a limitation to this kind of technology, but it is a serious limitation.
Keep your Sony digital camera powered and ready for use with this Sony NPBX1 lithium-ion battery that features a 1240 mAh capacity for long battery life.

I'm still relatively new to the camera and battery. I bought this spare battery for my Sony DSC-WX350. The battery life is very good, and I like having a spare so I don't get caught with a dead camera. Recharging the spent battery is a bit of a logistical "dance" because the battery charges inside the camera. This means that once you use the charged spare to replace the spent battery, you have to remember to swap the batteries at home, charge the spent battery, and then but the partly used battery back into the camera before heading out for the next day of use. I put labels ("a" and "b") on my two batteries so I don't get confused. Having a separate wall charger to keep the spare battery is a simpler solution.
Utilizing an 18.2-megapixel, 1/2.3" Exmor R CMOS sensor, this Sony DSC-WX350 digital camera allows you to take sharp photographs and high-definition video footage of subjects and scenes. Built-in Wi-Fi helps simplify file sharing across devices.Memory card sold separately.
The camera features two distinct "point ans shoot" modes. "Intelligent auto" is a very fast auto shoot mode and is excellent for most situations. the response time of the shutter is excellent, and you can shoot away and edit later. The "Superior auto" mode takes 4 pictures in fast succession at 4 different f-stop settings, and then blends the exposure to create a composite that is balanced in a way that no single f-stop shot could possibly be. This is NOT a setting for artistic photography, but will be a life-saver in situations where the scene being shot has a variety of lighting that cannot be accommodated in a single f-stop setting. The one drawback, is that this setting requires several seconds for the camera to "decide" and process the final shot. Fine if you are taking a sunset picture, not ideal if you are trying to catch an action scene. I also like the fact that the "mode setting" dial has fewer choices (only 6). I don't expect to use more than 3 of them. One small complaint is that the only way to charge the battery is inside the camera, with a special wire (supplied). This means you have to take the camera "out of service" to charge the battery, instead of having a spare battery ready to go in the charger. The camera is so good in low light, that I hardly use the flash and the battery lasts a long time.

What's great about it: Not cheap, but very easy to use. It has two distinct "point and shoot" modes.
What's not so great: I haven't figured out the WiFi yet, so the jury is still out. Battery recharges inside the camera.
