Please dont tell me my Canon M50 is fake!

Hi guys, new to the forum, just bought a Canon M50 as its a great beginners camera and i really look forward to learning the ropes and taking awesome pictures this summer.

The Camera has checked out as far as serial number goes but the Battery Charger is giving me doubts.

This is it:



The Chinese company platered across it is not filling me with confidence, can you confirm if this is normal or am I going to have to return to Amazon UK?

Thank you

Carl

Did it come as a packaged kit? It should have. What does the packaging look like? And who was the seller (Amazon, or did Amazon just fulfill?)

There are a many images of the LC-E12E online. Compare.

Hey!

It came from Amazon UK. They fulfil, boxed etc, looked legit. Its just the charger. And if the charger is shady then maybe the battery is too.

Checked online, even unboxing videos but nobody is thorough enough to even show the back of the charger.

I have found a few images that look like mine but they are Chinese and I think they link to sites to buy the usual knockoff stuff. They may be showing a picture of their fakes or showing a picture of an original. I don't known.
