[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 678419, member: 43545"] There are several reasons, one being the higher charge rare requires temperature monitoring of the battery which the extra contacts on the charge provided. The USB current rating on 5volts out using a switching regular to boost that to 7.5 volts or more would exceed the spec for USB A There are several power supplies inside the camera, with much of the digital portion being 3.3v, interface chips at 5 volts and analog circuits up to 12.6 for shuttler, backlighting etc. It is possible for new models designed from a fresh start could add a slow overnight charge capability but DSLRs are systems that almost always involve a bag of accessories, lenses, flash, modifiers, batteries,cleaning supplies etc so thinking it is a camera requirement means assuming a different nature of use, like how a phone camera works, self-contained without any accessories. When I don't want to carry a bag I use only my phone. For grab shots, it takes the place once filled by a compact camera in the ecosystem. If I am taking my FF DSLR, I am also taking a selection of heavy fast lenses, at least 2 flash, several sets of batteries for camera and flash and accessories.
