Quote from mrodgers :The number of days doesn't relate to the number of photos or the hours of operation. How long was the camera turned on each day?

I ask that because I took a trip for work and turned my camera on at noon. It was a 5 hour road trip in which I took about 300 photos. The camera was left on the whole day. Stopped to check in at the hotel and switched cards which was the only time the camera was turned off. At about 6:30 pm, we went to the hockey arena in which I spent another 4-4.5 hours taking 300-350 photos at the hockey game. I turned it off after the game because I was at the mercy of the driver and he wanted to go to the casino (I'd never spent $20 faster in my life than I did that first 3 minutes I was there, Haha.) I have a discharge function on the camera and when I got back to my room, I set it to discharge the batteries for about 2 hours while work paid for my beer for those 2 hours. I don't have a battery meter, it only tells me when they are depleted, but when I got back to my room for the night, they were still discharging. That was around 2 am, so 14 straight hours and 600 or so photos, about 1/4th of those with flash, and the batteries still had charge.

My other experience with AA NiMH batteries is with charging a 130 mah Lipo battery in my micro RC airplane. I could charge the Lipo probably 10 times plus flight time with the controller with a single charge on the NiMH. That's quite a bit considering I am also charging the Lipo with it as well.

I pay $10 for 4 batteries and the charger and $5 for a package of 4 batteries. I see off-brand camera proprietary batteries run for $20 or OEM for $40-45.

So, I would estimate that I could run all day (long day, 12-14 hours) and at least half the next day on 4 NiMH, or just toss them in the charger overnight every night for $10 worth of batteries and charger, probably with the capability of taking 1000 photos with a full charge.

i mentioned both days and number of photos, because I had my canon turned on almost 12 hours a day but made only over 400 photos...

the story you wrote is something im reading for the first time in my life, then it should mean that AA batteries are not so bad

Quote from mrodgers :I'd much prefer AA batteries over proprietary batteries from a camera manufacturer.

why?

edit: well AA bateries should be much cheaper, but! I put ONE canon battery in my dslr...capacity 2000mAh...i went to a trip to ukraine for 7 days...made over 400 photos...and I had to change my battery on 7th day on my way home...

im not familiar with prices in US, but here original chargers and batteries are quetly expensive...but! ther's very good eshop in new mexico, http://sterlingtek.com/ , I've ordered 2 batteries from there (around 2 years ago), they came to me (central Europe) within a week and they are as good as original AND the original one has capacity 1390mAh! two batteries which last for over a week for $25? silly

also I've ordered new charger from hong kong because i thought i've lost my original (i've found it few weeks after the order)...it cost me 7,50€ including shipping...a brand new charger...

the only advantages of AA batteries are that you can get them almost everywhere, buy as much as you can, use the same charger for multiple devices and...thats all....you have to use more batteries for one device, all my life i see that AA batteries (even 2500mAh) last very short time (compared to these)

Quote from morpha :...

yes, i was talking about image quality, your last sentence says everything

actually that might be true...only real difference between photo quality that body makes is visible in high ISO modes and mpixel count itself...more mpix gives you advantage when printing large images and cropping it...in sense of colours, bodies are very similiar...or while shooting in RAW a computer software helps you makes a photo perfect (imho shooting primary JPG with dslr is great sin)

lenses are very important and its more than a half job of creating an image...lens quality (+ filters) gives you real difference in colours, vignetting, chromatic aberatinos, image sharpness... so invest more money in those

think about hundreds of thousands people connected at the same time, using server database hdd and cpu...imho its working pretty well...

and for chat - facebook chat is now accessable by jabber protocol, so configure your IM client for that and you can chat from there - you don't have to visit the website... i've got jabber plugin in my miranda IM configured to chat.facebook.com and everything works perfect

Quote from Krane :USA ≠ American.

USA = United States of America. I.e. States north of Mexico and Alaska and Hawaii, not Canada.

American = citizen of a nation in Americas. Apparently even Hawaii includes in Americas, which doesn't make sense to me... It's an island some 4000km away from the continent That's like Finland being included in to North Africa, the distance is shorter than that of Hawaii and the continent.

thanks for explenation, I said "according to wiki"
