. . . A german test portal tells about G9x:

......Although the USB port is now standardized and according to instruction charging should be possible, it didn`t work with us with different commercial phone chargers - a shame, because the function is not practical. Also on two different computers the charging was not working.....

It is odd. The manual states that charging via computer is possible, but it's not clear if charging takes place. When I connected via a computer USB, I can't access the screen for information. I get a flashing green icon on the camera indicating a connection, but it doesn't indicate if charging is taking place. Regardless, the use of any other USB charging method, such as solar panel, battery pack, or various wall chargers, isn't mentioned in the manual or assured. Unless one uses the charger/cable from Canon.
