Tim In these days when most people have cars with 12v supplies ( ciggy lighters! ) and inverters are <£30 then I cant see when people even on holiday run out of power. Maplins even have a 120W one for £20 http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=220993&&source=14&doy=14m8 Confused of Ipswich From: main-bounces@lists.alug.org.uk on behalf of Tim Green Sent: Tue 14/08/2007 7:32 AM To: main@lists.alug.org.uk Subject: Re: [ALUG] Digital cameras On 8/14/07, Adam Bower <adam@thebowery.co.uk> wrote:
How long/far you will be going with the camera for battery choice (good NiMH rechargeable AA batteries with a good charger would be a good thing).
Good point about batteries - while fancy batteries can make the camera body smaller, it really sucks when you're out of juice and you can't just pop into the gift shop to buy some emergency zinc-carbon style AAs. My dad suffers from this so often it's not funny any more - he uses an otherwise very good Pentax Optio.
