Digital Camera Batteries - Product Reviews

notqytryt - (April 10, 2003) I dont know what type of Nimh batteries the other reviewer used.. maybe he forgot to charge them first... the camera works all day on 6 1800 or 1600 nimh batteries if you dont use the view screen.. with the factory battery about 75 mins

alip - (May 16, 2005) Just got the BG-E3 battery grip for the Rebel XT, and it performs exactly as described. Comes with two cartridges, one that holds 6 AA batteries, and one that holds 2 NB2LH batteries. It did improve the grip for me with the Rebel XT, but I would recommend that you try out the Rebel XT for a few shoots, before you decide whether or not you need to get the Vertical grip. To me, it is an improvement but not a necessity; my hands are average size. Consider how often you will shoot vertically, as the grip will help immensely if you do. Also, it does add weight to the camera, which can be a pro or con. Good if you want to 'balance' out heavier lenses, but bad if you don't want to carry

abroken1 - (July 22, 2005) I bought this grip after reading the complaints regarding the small hand grip size on the Rebel XT. I am 6'2" and have long, somewhat thin fingers, and I had read how one reviewer thought it was a whole different camera with the BG-E3 on it. I couldn't agree with him more! I have been doing mostly wedding photography since I got my Rebel XT and the BG-E3 has been indispensible since so much of my shooting is in the portrait orientation. While the extra height the BG-E3 gives when shooting horizontal does offer some needed leverage for handling heavy lenses easier, the vertical grip is thick and meaty and very easy to hold. When I'm working a wedding or reception, I'm usually switching

Anna3456 - (05/08/2009) Need to know why charger only works with 4 batteries and will not charge with 2 batteries. When the two need replacing 2 others are charged. Does that mean then you wait until all 4 are recharged again.

dgrgas65 - (05/03/2009) I purchased a spare battery for my new digital camera. The price was beyond reasonable in today's tough economy and the service was great! To my pleasant surprise I received my purchase earlier than promised. I will definitely shop pricegrabber again in the future!

csparks1942 - (02/07/2009) In an eight pack of batteries 6 will not hold a charge. Charge them up and leave sitting overnight and the next day they are discharged. For a Brand name like Duracell why would there be 6 defective batteries in 1 pack? There was no discernible way to tell when the batteries were manufactured either on the package or the batteries themselves.
