Camelion is a German Brand.


F60 is an older model. BC-907 is a replacement of this
Some specs from the site
This 4-channel charger for up to 4 AAA or AA Ni-MH batteries is designed to provide Formula 1 fast performance. In as little as 30 minutes*.

Main Features

* 60min PER CHANNEL ultra fast charging!
* LCD display shows charger condition

* Universal voltage for worldwide use
* Germany Designed, Very reliable

Batteries
I've been using Camelion for about a year plus and when i initially started, i bought 12 pcs of 2500maH. Till now, none actually failed me! (Guess because the chargers has a feature that can revive spoilt batteries) They are loaded in my external flash as well as my flash external pack.

Test setup, WITHOUT EXT. Flash Batt Pack, Sony 56AM Flash, 1/1, 4pcs Camelion 2700 loaded.
Timing till READY Lighting Symbol lights up: 2.01 Sec

Test setup, WITHOUT EXT. Flash Batt Pack, Sony 56AM Flash, 1/1, 4pcs ENERGIZER 2500 loaded.
Timing till READY Lighting Symbol lights up: 2.58 Sec

Timed using iPod Touch. Both Batteries are FULLY CHARGED with F60.

Verdict

Damn quick charger which allows me to charge real fast (Even the day before ON event , im able to charge up ALL my 16pcs of batteries and start flashing off within 2-3 hours!

CHARGING TIME TEST
Totally drain out Camelion 2700
~ 1 hour 10 min

Totally Drain out Energizer 2500
~ 50min - 60min

Pro
- Very Fast
- Light
- Alot of different country head for the brick
- German Technology
- JumpStart feature (Revive your old battery) <-- I think it works because i pop in my old 1200mah GP cells and it can charge it as well) - My oldschool GP Charger will not charge.
- AA, AAA Charging
- Nice design (look like car dashboard)

CONS
- Battery Gets hot (I think its normal for fast chargers)
- Should have true % instead of 4 level. hehe

Not much of cons... There's another newer model BC-907 which has even more features. But not that nice looking. Both are 60min fast charging. Should be as good. Camelion battery are cheap as well.
