I'm hoping to learn more about which types of batteries are best for digital cameras.
Have any of you heard of these new Energizer® e²® Lithium batteries? I've got some in my digital camera right now, and they've lasted, well, for a long time.
I was curious about the "last 7 times longer in digital cameras" claim, so I grabbed our digital camera, 2 AA Energizer® e²® Lithium batteries, and took 2 batteries from our supply of our AA Duracells. I decided to see how many pictures I could take with each set. I didn't click away, or anything, just took pics of random things, trying to use the life of the batteries as one normally would. The regular Duracell batteries lasted for about 25 minutes, and I ended up with 27 pictures. Doesn't seem like much, but the LCD display wears down the batteries really fast. I replaced the dead Duracells with the pair of the lithium batteries, and basically filled up the rest of the memory card. I ended up with 101 pictures, and the batteries handn't run out, though they were about 75% spent.
I'd like to know if any of you have tried these, and, if so, would you rather use these as apposed to rechargables? Pros/cons, etc would be very helpful. Thanks.
