Battery Pack Nikon
| Powered by phpBay Pro |
Would you buy a camera w/ AA batteries (normal or rechargable) or just a rechargeable battery pack?
Trying to choose bet. a Nikon P100 (uses rechargable) and a Fuji finepix HS 10 (uses AA batteries). Thanks!!!
All other camera specs being equal I would always go with a camera that uses AA instead of a battery pack. The only advantage of a battery pack over AA is that you get a slimmer camera body. Cameras that use AA batteries are usually a little thicker where the battery compartment is and it acts as a handgrip. Check it out at the camera store. Hold each type of camera in your hand and you'll see that all of them with AA batteries form a handgrip on the right side of the camera and they're more comfortable and stable in your hand.
All rechargeable batteries have a lifespan and you'll need to replace them at some point. With AA batteries you can buy rechargeables that you drop in the charger when needed. I've used several brands and Rayovac is my favorite. They last longer and hold a charge better. I think I get about 500 charges from a set of batteries. The charger may cost you about $30 but a 4-pack of batteries is about $13. Once you start using rechargeables you'll use them in all of your battery devices.
When you're out shooting if you're battery dies (which it will sometime) you can just run into a 7-Eleven and pick up some AAs. There's one on every corner. With a battery pack, when it dies you're stuck without a camera.
