Digital camera reviews of Sanyo Eneloop AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries - 4 Pack
Digital camera Review: Absolutely love it !
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved a canon camera but was hesitant in buying it as it used AA battery. After a little research I came to know about these eneloop batteries. I bought them and I bought another set as backup.
I have never required those back up batteries. I always end up clicking 250 pics in a day. I never saw the low battery sign on my amera.
On my last trip I clicked 515 pics. Still the battery was good. We even watched all the photos couple of times while traveling. For the first time I saw the low battery sign after all this.
All my friends hv now decided to switch to these batteries. Very Very happy with the purchase.
Digital camera Review: After 2.5 years....
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using these batteries in my Canon 430ex flash for the past 2.5 years and they still work like a champ. I have since then replaced all of the batteries in my house (wii controllers, cordless phones, kids toys, etc) with eneloops. They truly work as advertised. 2 thumbs up from me!Digital camera Review: After all It is not only about milliampere hours

I received several sets of Eneloops in February and label told they were produced in April - so they sat at warehouse for nine month. I put them into camera and they worked just fine. Kudos Sanyo!
I should also mention that Sanyo includes reusable battery holders with each set of four. These holders do not look very sturdy, but they perfectly usable.
Technically, Sanyo solved the main problem with NiMh technology - frightening self-discharge rate (up to 40% a month for standard cells). By doing this Sanyo reduced cell capacity down to 2000 mAh from today's top line of 2700 mAh.
Simple calculation shows that due to self-discharge a good 2700 mAh battery holds only around 2000 mAh after a month and a half.
So the answer to the question "which battery is better - Eneloop or standard NiMh" - lies in the usage pattern.
If you always keep batteries in your camera in top-notch charged condition, then standard 2700 mAh set is a winner. For occasional shooters who always forget to charge batteries (like me), Eneloop makes lot of sense because in three month I get around 1900 mAh out of Eneloop and only 1400 mAh from the standard cell. So Eneloop is a winner for everyone who keep batteries inside the camera or any other device for more than 6 weeks.
And, well, if paragraph above looks too technical with too many details and numbers - then Eneloop is a clear winner too, because it just behaves the way battery should behave - without forcing users to know how it works.
This observation made me buy additional sets of AAA Eneloops to use in my wireless mouse, keyboard, voice recorder and LCD flashlight. It should be taken into account that Eneloops are four times more expensive than Alkaline cells, so it is reasonable to use them for devices that require fresh batteries at least twice a year.
Digital camera Review: Alot of Value
Summary: 5 Stars
I really am loving the enoloop batteries and now that the price has dropped a few dollars its even better. I have not had to replace any of my enoloops yet and some I have been using for 1 1/2 years or so. They all charge great and seem to really maintain their maximum capacity really well. I figure though they cost a little bit more than other rechargeable you gain so much back over time by not having to replace them every 8-12 months. I cant tell you all that technical kind of stuff other reviews mention but I can say these batteries are not hype, they just plain do a great job.Digital camera Review: Always a good choice!

These are some of the best rechargeable nihms you can get for the money. They hold their charge for a long time and 2000mah is plenty for most tasks (more mah isn't always better, especially concerning durability.)
