Ive been using 2nd gen 2000mAh Eneloops in my point and shoot digicam for ~1.5y, works great! Was eating primaries like theres no tomorrow, while with Eneloops it stays up and running almost like forever, unless you do HD/FullHD recording, that eats up them faster than regular picture taking with or without flash.
Edit:
Just checked HR-3UTGB prices on ebay.com:
26$ for 4 pieces of Disney themed and 17$ shipping fee to EU.
I wonder why it takes them so long to release 3rd gen outside Japan?
I like Eneloops, but if you go looking for a bargain on them, you might end up with fakes. Be very careful. If you want to save a little money, there are other brands of LSD NiMH's that are still way better than normal NiMH's that self-discharge in a month. Definitely get LSD batteries, get Eneloops if you can afford them.
On photo forums Eneloops reign, except for pros who will charge non-LSD batteries the night before the shoot and benefit from their larger capacity before self-discharge has gotten the time to do any substantial damage.
Other than having plenty of eneloops in my camera bag, I always make sure I have an extra set or 2 of freshly charged maha powerex 2700's to use with my flash. They last longer than eneloops and even though they aren't lsd's, I had a set of 4 powerex 2700's that held a 100% charge for 30 weeks. Not too shabby.
I've been buying Eneloops for several years , and if you want 100% guaranteed authentic cells , you need to buy from Thomas Distributing.
The best deal is their 16 Pack on Amazon for $38. You can also order from their site but you have to pay shipping, if you order through them on Amazon you get FREE shipping.
All their batteries come with free battery holders too, which is GREAT.
So far I've bought 3 Maha chargers, and around 100 eneloops from them over the past 2-3 years.
They are hands down the best company to get eneloops from, No point in dealing on ebay and trying to score them a couple bucks cheaper and risk getting fake cells.
Their customer service is top notch, one of my Maha C9000's power supply went dead 6 months after I bought it from them, I called them and they sent me a new one overnight free of charge!!!! You can't beat that.
One way to buy cheap eneloops that you know aren't fake is to buy duraloops .
probably one of the best things the flea markets sell is cheap batteries
got great deals on lithium as well..To some people a battery is just a battery .
last deal I bought awas all packages were a buck .the obvious deals are on the 12 packs of AA or AAA's but cr123's or 4 packs of nimh or lithium can sneak past people who don't know or care .
Probably a good idea to contact Sanyp, and ask them about this. But I read at the other forum about the same question, and he contacted Sanyo, and got aresponse that it's a known "error". But they are genuine.
We could just trust those words or double check with Sanyo.
Would be nice if there are some people who could make pictures of them as well, so we can compare.
Here in Japanwall batterieah have a Japanese text, so that makes it impossible to compare.
