This has to be said to be a design flaw. While supporting some new technologies, it should maintain compatibility with the old devices. This setting will cause many mobile phone chargers or power banks to become unavailable, causing a lot of inconvenience.you know,most of them don't support PD protocol,and most of PD chargers are bigger and heavier.

My PD charger is about 1.5" x 1" x 0.7", less than 100 grams. It can do quick charging too. Cost about $30.

World already changes. IT changes fast. BTW, no car has backward compatibity with cart.

This is another ass backwards design and trying to justify it by saying its the future is extremely stupid. Power Delivery is designed for high power output, usb-c laptops mostly. and the spec can go up to 100w of power. This is a CAMERA. It uses the same dinky battery as older models. The whole point of usb-c on a camera is convenience. It should work with any other usb-c charger, meaning a regular phone charger or power bank should work, or just being plugged into a computer. The most universal standard out there. It's more like they are trying to force you to buy their charger. Most people have no idea what Power Delivery is. If it's usb-c it should just WORK. All the other usb-c cameras I've used charge perfectly fine. Just not the canon.

Here's the battery charger that came with my g5x ii. This thing can't even hit 3w and the battery already feels like it's gonna melt. You are telling me canon switched to Power Delivery because they are pioneers on the technological frontier? Only someone ignorant of technology would say that.
