Digital Camera Battery: What is the best battery for my digital still
camera?
Whether your digital camera battery is NiMH, regular ‘AA’ or lithium Ion,
they are all battery gluttons. The
electronics in a digital camera demand power and things like the LCD monitor
and movie mode are major contributors.
Digital cameras need lots of power and the mega pixels sensor, bit
processors, LCD monitors and movie mode are some of the reasons for major
battery demands.
When digital still cameras first began, most
accepted regular AA size batteries and the biggest complaint by far was the
incredible demands of the batteries by the cameras. People were forever
replacing batteries and it appeared the only ones happy about it was the battery
companies themselves.
Enter nickel metal hydride batteries! They were rechargeable, memory free, or
almost, 3 times more powerful than AA’s and could recharge approximately 300
times. Wow! People were dancing in the streets. Then we found out a 1200 mah
NiMH battery was going to be replace with a 1400 mah NiMH up until today where
we now have 2500mah and who knows where the end is. NiMH is a great battery.
Lithium Ion was used earlier in video camcorders, and slowly they were being
introduced to digital still cameras. They were also rechargeable and truly
memory free, 3 plus times more powerful than AA’s and also could recharge
approximately 300 times. Again, people were dancing in the streets because
Lithium Ion batteries were great.
Then the argument began about which was better. Some argued for the NiMH because
is was still a ‘AA’ size and in a pinch one could substitute regular AA’s and
others argued that the Lithium Ion was the best because it had absolutely no
memory and lasted longer between charges.
The true answer in is both are good especially now that we can save having to
use AA batteries to excess. At least we can take lots of photographs.
