I just picked up an 825c this year and do not like the unplug, plug, unplug, plug battery lead routine to charge the unit. It didn't not come with a DCS like my LX5 did. Originally I presumed this was to keep the cost down but when I went to Marcum's site, not only do they not have any of their 800 series cameras listed, but in looking at their camera accessories, they don't show the DCS as an option. I'll send a note off to them but given their lack of e-mail response in the past, I'm posting here as well. Has anybody heard of the DCS is incompatible with Marcum's cameras?
