This affordable charger will top up four camera batteries at once, as Damien Demolder discovers
-

The question of independent batteries versus the manufacturers' models is as old as digital cameras themselves. But now that we generally get no charger in the box when buying a camera, new opportunities arise for third parties. I have been a fan of Hahnel's ProCube series for its ability to charge two batteries at a time, but this new Tilta Portable Battery Charger can pump the juice back into four batteries at the same time, and it claims to do so much faster than a single charger.

America's Cup. Marc Newson Art Edition
Let's be clear: America's Cup. Marc Newson Art Edition is not a book, it's a broadside. A glorified trophy disguised as a publication. Yours for £12,500 - that's a year's rent, a used van, or about 3,000 issues of AP. Full disclosure - I didn't receive a press review copy.
