I've been looking at the S120 in my quest to carry less "stuff". But, I know that some cameras can be charged via a mini usb so I would only need one charger (phone and camera). It looks like with the Canons you have to remove the battery and use the proprietary charger, which means taking not just the charger but the lead as well. Looking at the brochures, the charger looks to be bigger than the camera and presumably weighs more too.

So, you pay a fair bit for a light, small camera but are condemned to having a brick in your carry on bags.

Any comments or suggestions?

I agree, this old fashion charging method is close to a deal breaker for me, every camera has a different battery and charger so if you have two or more different models you could be carrying up to three of these bricks everywhere.  samsung had sensible USB charging years ago, what is wrong with canon?
