If you can get them so cheaply then they're probably a better option than the solar panel. The ones I was looking at were Sony InfoLithium, and I assumed that only the proprietary Sony batteries would work, because there's some kind of additional circuitry in there. I think I'd get a no-name brand 6-hour battery for next time, if these are viable.
A tip: use the viewfinder only (not the LCD) if you want to preserve battery life -- it will last up to 50% longer. But I spose it's harder to get a clear, stable shot if your head is up against the camera all the time... |
