Canon Powershot SX50 HS : CHDK Firmware 1.2.0-3001 (Aug 3, 2013)

which one would you be recommending, was thinking to invest in one, since our type of battery may go obsolete later, then rendering the camera useless, apart from those rechargeable AA, type.

Hmm actually dont have e bay account, and did not buy any from online before also.

Cheers

cheers it really help, but the problem is getting it would be the issue.

Just new in this type of camera, us to just own a minolta XG, great camera, but battery cannot get or expensive.

Some one point me to 1U canon shop, dont know how much would it cost.

Tks

True also, it may cost a bomb, before getting bomb from them, can i know what is the price that you got for the uv lense and also the hood.

At least a guideline of not being slather, just like that.
