They're of different voltage to begin with.

Smartphone one is normally rated at 3.7 V while camera ones are 7.2V. Some even 10.8 or higher. Put this into the equation, you about need to multiply the mah on our camera battery x 2 to get equivalent mAh rating at 3.7V. Due to this, it's better and easier to read the Wh rating instead of mAh. Wh specifies the total energy content of the battery irrelative to voltage while mAh is specified at the operating voltage.

But I think it's still not as compact as phone batteries probably due to the housing. Phones batteries housing should be relatively thinner so they can create those super thin phone. Camera battery on the other had is something we'll take out and change on occasional basis so it has to be tougher. But that's my theory la. No guarantee of accuracy

perhaps this article would be useful.

I use 2.1A output from my FSP power bank and FSP car charger. Speeds up a lot when it comes to charging.

You are correct to make that assumption .. will be surprise how much space inside a phone is made available for battery. and also the battery shell in phones aver very thin. For camera battery it has to be a lot thick to withstand abuse. Those extra thick skin - even by 0.5 mm can mean more energy storage space..

For original and good quality OEM battery. they will pack the battery full to the brim.. and it will usually be heavier.. go rip apart some and weigh them if you want to verify. Just be careful how you dispose off the polymer.

Perhaps this will give you a typical flow of how the voltage is converted :

assuming a 5V power bank source with USB connector and 7.2V in camera in battery charger. I will assume the power bank is a single cell unit in parallel.

from the Power Bank LiPo battery (usually in parallel > DC to DC Electronics to convert from 4.2V to 5V and current limit to set rated value > USB plug > cable to connect 2 device together > Electronics to verify it is 5 V > DC to DC step up to 7.2 V > LiPo battery charger control with current limit control > 7.2V Battery

sounds complication but quite easily done these days due to dedicated parts that will do the job in one single chip plus a driver chip (the one that usually die due to overload or accidental shorting)

hi all, im new here

anyone know where can i replace the LCD for Sony A350 in kl?

most of us will suggest send back to Sony service center.

i suggest buy new/2nd hand body

last time i asked, they cleared their stock of A3xx parts.

you will need to order with them, around rm180 (last time i brought rm180) for it, it will take 1/2 month time for the shipment to reach, provided Japan has stocks. then replace them yourself, (very easy, about 6-8 screws only)

Some new spam again, C&C always welcomed.

Good model

Molestation session:



First impression: Sony got it right this time for sure, if not just for the shutter button position. I'm absolutely drooling over one now that I've played with it... but haveta wait for the FE 2/28 first lar for me.

Of course, if Sony made an A6 rangefinder style FF cam I'll be all over that one... but as of right now, the A7ii is top in my book, at least based on feel alone.

Feel the price too

Body alone already double++ the price of A6000 kit.


Consider lens lagi. Omg I can't imagine

That's why I can't help but to go with APSC A6000 first.

Anyone entering?

Anyone know where to get 3rd lens adapter from A-Mount to E-mount?
LA-EA1/2/3/4 too expensive for me.. Any idea?

here you go http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Minolta-Sony-Al...=item3ce2b5949c

but there are no electronic contacts...you have to adjust the aperture manually


Btw this guy is selling new A7 body for RM3k (i am getting from him)

don't you have an a7 already? hahahaha

Ehhhh? Where got. That dinky little camera on the left is mine lor - best travel camera ever (with interchangeable lenses... ehem X100T). The A7ii is just a molestation victim.

That said, the possibilities of having a true 2/28 on dat FF sensor (with SteadyShot summore) is mighty appealing - though I WILL lose the extreme portability and stealth that the "dinky little camera" affords me.

Hence the "hopes" that Sony will actually do an A6 rangefinder FF as a step up from the APSC gang. Unless it's too crippled (to stop canabalizing sales from the A7ii and A9, it will be), it will be an instabuy for me *if* it ever comes out.

A bonus is the look on people's faces when I let the dinky thing rip 11FPS once in a while. I normally use it in low drive actually lol, 11FPS is overkill 90% of the time.
