A question for those that own a G9X. . .

Anyone else experiencing problems with charging by USB?

Thanks,

Same exact thing with me. My husband even contacted Canon support to make sure we were doing it right, and we were, but it doesn't charge the battery. Sometimes the charge light will come on then go off, but the battery is never charged. I was looking forward to it. I charge my Fuji F30 in camera only for 7 years, so I really wanted that feature.

So sorry, I know how you feel.

Thanks for sharing your experience Rita. It should just be a simple connect and charge, without guessing if a charge is taking place or not. I charge many devices with USB and have never run across this hit and miss connection problem. Unfortunately, this may be a deal breaker for me since I do a lot of wilderness camping with my devices and I use small solar panels for charging via USB.

Too bad. I am testing a Sony RX100 IV as well and I've not experienced a problem with charging via USB . . . but I like the G9X!!

Curious, what did Canon tell you after they determined that you were doing things right?

I just purchased a G5x, and I am waiting for the battery to run down so I can test USB charging.  If it doesn't work, I will definitely send the camera back.  That would be a shame as I LOVE the camera so far, but I really need USB charging.
