You think so?

I am not going, but am just as anxious to see lots and I mean LOTS of pictures from the event and then the DVD which I am sure will be so entertaining to watch. Just think how much money I will save as I will not be tempted by the merchants there.

Atticman

Seeing as snow is forecast, are there heaters in the marquee, or do we just steam up as many as possible and keep warm that way  

Lets hope the forecast is wrong either way, assume less visitors if its bad weather

If it eats Duracells then it would chew up and spit out rechargeables with a vengeance
Lewis

i dont like to use rechargables for some reason and they take hours to charge properly

You want 2500mah aa's. They last for about 150 pictures in my Sony, Duracells only do about 30. You can get them with a 1 hour fast charger on Ebay cheaply and they are good quality branded ones Argos have them to.
You must get the 2500MaH ones, 2000MaH will do at a push
johnreid

My camera doesnt like even the 2500 ones, I understand as I wasted money buying them. Wish I was going so I could use up batteries.
Lewis

30 shots with duracell  

ill have to try rechargebles at some point but for now its duracell or those energizer lithuim ones  
johnreid

I get a lot of pictures using Duracells, but only 5 or 6 with 2500 Nimh rechargeables.
Roly Williams

I've found the main problem with NiCad and Lithium cells is that they discharge themselves slowly, even if your not using them. If you use it all in one day then the capacity is a lot better than if you leave it standing between uses.  Lithiums are better than NiCads in this, and indeed all other respects except cost. Alkaline cells (like Duracell) have a very good shelf life. I think they clain about 5 years.
Andy

well i am hoping to just visit, gonna take my kodak Z710 10x optical zoom. I got a lithuim reachable bactorry for it and it can take 100s of picture with it.

WTF?
Steve_S

Bactorries are useless if they're unreachable.....
johnreid

Some cameras are designed for AA batteries I believe that built in bactorries do give one more pictures.
