Right guys, I've had one of these Optio S50s for a couple of years now and the battery life has brought me close to smashing it up many times. Even on 2700 NiHM, always flat next day.

Noticed it said CR3V on inside so did a quick search and found a 1800 mA RCRV on eBay and a car and mains charger for a total of £11, slipped the battery in when it arrived and hey presto the green battery light was actually showing for once, left it on video for 13 minutes and took loads of photos and its still on green. Result! It really is like having a new camera now.



Also if you use NiMH they are only 2.4 volts as opposed to the 3v Li-ion which is 20% more doesn't matter so much about the actual capacity as it seems this camera needs the 3v to run it, a bit like trying to start a car on 9v, it won't happen.
