I have a canon PowerShot SD600 and i have the the wall charger that it came with in the box that has been working perfectly fine, but i've left it at friends houses sometimes and i have no way to charge my camera. I wanted to know if the computer can charge my camera through the USB cord when i plug it in, like when you plug an ipod into the computer how it begins to charge, does that happen with the camera automatically or is there any way i can make the computer charge the camera and know that it is being charged.

You have to use the supplied charger. The SD600 will not charge the battery in the camera through the USB.

Or buy a separate charger that is designed for the NB-4L LiOn battery, they are available.
