OT-camera batteries? Olympus C-3000
I was fortunate enough this week, to swap for a minty Olympus C-3000
Zoom digital camera with 128meg smart media. Friend of mine is upgrading to hip slick and cool wonder camera Having had some very elderly digital cameras...this thing blows me away. And its obsolete...chuckle...but is way way cool and will do EVERYTHING I need a camera to do for me. I didnt get any batteries with it..he uses nicads and kept them, So I loaded it up with fresh Alkalines..and got about 10 daylight pictures out of them....damn thats a battery hungry *******!!! So Ive been doing some research on digital camera batts this evening, along with chargers etc It would appear that everyone is pushing Nickle metal hydride rechargables. Which for me..is better..NIMH or NiCads? It may be weeks or longer before I need to take any pictures and am worried about the self discharge of the NiMH batts On the other hand..NiCads appear to be only 800mah at best, based on ebay descriptions On the gripping hand...NiMH appear to have over twice the amp hour rating..1800 is average for AAs, going up to 2500 mah Is this what I want? http://cgi.ebay.com/MAHA-MH-C204F-CHARGER-w-AA-Batteries-Kit-Brand-New_W0QQitemZ7600147921QQcategoryZ64349QQtcZphotoQ QcmdZViewItem Or do I want to buy nicads and a smart charger with a conditioner circuit? Any input would be appreciated. Also..anyone have one of these cameras AND the proper AC wall wart? I need to know the voltage and polarity. The manual I downloaded didnt have any specs Thanks Gunner "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |
