^ yeap .panasonic lsd.

Wat's da diff btw alkalines n nimh batteries? seng87 said rechargable slower compared to normal alkalines

From my experience, rechargeables are much faster. NiMH retains higher current output as compared to conventional alkalines. You guys can try it out, the first time I used my SB900 I was using those duracell copper head. Recharge was pretty horrible, but after changing to Eneloop rechargeable, fuh damn fast!

i have also tested the normal energizer alkaline sb600 @ full power recycle around 2-3 sec slower than the eneloop depending on ur alkaline age la..

r u all sure.. alkalines is slower than rechargeable batts? try burst 6-8 frames.. see.. which one better...

Alkaline battery voltage is rated at 1.5v whereas the Rechargeable battery are rated at 1.2v, hence recycle time of the flash under stress condition, Alkaline battery will always faster than Rechargeable battery.. Sounds not convincing.? Try wat bro raz say, snap in burst mode and u will know which is faster...

Picture Spam from me.. =D

True, but alkaline does not sustain 1.5v at load. Initially when I first started using flash, I have the same exact thoughts as you. My first set of AA batteries were alkaline (Duracell Copperhead), went event with my friend and was wondering how come my SB900 recharges slower compared to his. Both D90 + 18-105 + SB900. Only differences is the batteries.

After that when I got my set of Eneloop, the recharge rate is noticeable faster. Besides, using Alkalines the recharge rate get slower as the battery drains, where else nimh rechargeable are able to retain the recharge rate until almost depleted.

try oxyride, quite fast, but mahal la...

Reli nobd tried energizer e2 lihium?

@Seng87


So when the "Pilot" turns, green and it has a beeping sound, means ready to shoot ?

i've tried... maybe duracell copperhead is hampeh

So can I conclude that using Enelope is the best bet?

How many batts do you guyz usually carry?

Guys, here's a pic taken by me when I visit Sepilok.
It's zoomed at 55mm, with the 18-105 lens, and if I zoom into 105mm,
what view will I have ?

someone please crop for me ?

2 sets, 1 back up 1 in flash. Never ran through with 2 sets before LOL.

carry only 1 set enough lo

unless u are going for few hours photo shoot which require full power then maybe buy 1 more set alkaline spare

Reason I carry 2 sets is because I don't want to charge my battery half way... so use until finish, switch, use until finish switch...

This 1 seems to be the same as eneloop but much higher rated capacity, anybody tried this brand b4? How's the performance, btw the Eneloop is the white colour 2000mA 1 right?

Search around, there's a head on comparison between Eneloop and Imedeon before. Eneloop wins performance wise, capacity Imedeon. But the 100mAh is uh.. not significant.

Picture of the night - Lightning!!!! *RAWR*

C&C please btw.

Cool 1 dude... But its will be a stunning pic if the lightning was larger

Nice to have your living place so high~ can take picture of sky and the city
