Have you ever bought an aftermarket rechargable battery off ebay for 90% off OEM? Will if you did, you will notice that these aftermarket batteries barely last a year. However, they are great during the first few months.



Yeah, so what. I'll only be using a camera that uses this specific battery for only 2 to 3 years. This is my 3rd year. Then my plans are to buy another brand camera which uses a different battery type. If eBay cheapies last but a year then my battery costs are under $20 for that period. If I bought an OEM battery my cost might be $70 (in Canada) for a battery that might last longer than the camera. Money wasted! If you plan to keep your camera until either it or you becomes obsolete, then that is your own business. I've bought 2 cheapie batteries so far and am 100 percent satisfied with the battery life (for the price) and the efficient dealer that shipped my batteries faster than I could say "Measekite is trolling again". ;-) But thank you Measekite for giving me the opportunity to say some nice things about eBay batteries. Thank God for dealers that help me save money by not forcing me to buy "Lexus" versions of batteries that I really don't need. If they last a year for $5.... fantastic!!!! -Taliesyn



Taliesyn, I knew you were going to fall for it. You just proved that you are nothing but a liar.

But he is a high school kid for real and what do you think they do.  They are also misinformed and are big at rationalizations since they need to justify their existence.


Everybody knows that the non-oem, generic, china made after market camera battery suck. Check Consumer's Report for a profession review. Better yet, check amazon.com for more realistic customer's reviews. On amazon.com you know these customer's reviews are more accurate since these can be written anytime. Here's a perfect example.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pr_product_top Going back to the original subject of after market ink.....The only reason why you think that after market ink is such high quality is probably because the only thing you print are those black and white high school term papers. Also, it's okay for you to purchase the after market camera batteries. I figure that if you purchased an after market battery, you will have to sacrifice your lunch money for only 2 days. Now if you purchased the OEM camera battery, then you would have to sacrifice your lunch money for 1 month. Be careful when you respond to my post. Somebody like me, could be setting you up. Just like I did to make you look stupid. Haha

that the battery is less safe and can cause a fire or ruin the equipment
it powers. The fact that you do not know and have no way of confirming
the quality or lack thereof makes that class a poor buy and a higher
risk. For an extra $20 you cannot even get a tank of gas.

the choice of a camera for that specific reason is kind of dumb. That
said I bought a camera that uses AA batteries and choose Duracell
batteries with a 15 minute charger but I choose the camera because it
produced the best images, had a long zoom, had an electronic (poor but
usable) viewfinder, good macro capability, and an articulating LCD. I
did like the fact it was powered by AA batteries but you have bought it
anyway if it had an OEM battery. The camera was also somewhat more
competitive on noise than others in the same class.

My first digital camera used 2 standard AA batteries. Even with NiMH
type batteries they could not match the longevity (charge) of the square
battery used in my current Lumix, a camera I plan to change in the near
future for something more powerful and current. With these square
batteries I've never ever run out of power and rarely received a "low
power" warning. With AAs, "low power" seemed to be a constant issue.
I was forever changing batteries, sometimes carrying 3 sets with me.
With the square type, only 1 backup was kept and I never had to
substitute while shooting.

Yes, I understand your psychotic fear of everything - eBay, PayPal,
aftermarket anything, ng experts, etc, etc, etc. But my own experience
has shown that batteries do not explode left, right and center. For the
record, I recharge various battery types (various brands, manufacturers)
several times a week. As you can see, I'm still standing here (5 years
later) amidst all these "incredibly dangerous" batteries and with no
loss of life, limb, or electronic paraphernalia. Bite me! :-) :-) :-)

Typically totally irrelevant comment. Struck from the record.

Did you ever think that maybe your AA battery suck because you are
buying that generic stuff? Let me give you a perfect example.
According to this link....

http://cgi.ebay.com/NiMH-8x2500mAh-A...QQcmdZViewItem

They claim their AA batteries are rated at 2500 mAh and their AAA
batteries are rated at 1000 mAh. I know somebody who actually
purchased these batteries and I tested them on a computerized battery
charger/tester and real rating of these batteries are:

AA batteries are 500 mAh
AAA batteries at 400 mAh.

The physical weight of the battery is a give away. They are super
light. Afterwards, a complaint was placed, the seller refunded the
full price of the battery, the buyer threw away the battery and
promised to not leave a negative comment on ebay.

Trust me, this brand sucks. I ran the test myself.

Are you telling me that you sacrifice your high school lunch money for
2 to 3 years just to buy a new camera I'm going to tell your mommy on
you. She might ground you. Why don't you just sell your bike or
skateboard instead of sacrificing your lunch money? You must be
really skinny. Can you post a picture of your skinny self? If not,
then I understand. The battery for your camera probably doesn't hold
the charge long enough to take 1 picture.

Of course I wouldn't buy a camera based just on the batteries it uses. I
also wouldn't buy one based just on pixel count, either - although that
seems to be the only thing advertisers think is important. I have two
digital cameras, both of which were purchased used. (No, not on Ebay.)
One has 3 times the pixel count of the other, yet the lower resolution
one is by far the better camera. Both, by the way, use AA batteries. The
lower resolution camera isn't too bad on them as long as I don't leave
the screen on all the time and I shut it off when I'm not going to be
using it. It'll run for days on a set of 2000mAh Ultralasts that way.
The higher resolution camera uses more power and is poorer in almost
every other way. But since I only paid 50 cents for it at a charity flea
market, I guess I have no reason to complain.

OK, YMMV. You use your camera differently than I do. The more powerful a
camera, with more doodads, the more power-hungry it's likely to be. My
needs are simple. All I want is something that takes photos.

Acuzine - New to this newsgroup? Measekite (aka etikesaem) is our resident
troll. He has never used any aftermarket inks but maligns all non-oem ink
and carts and their vendors. If you choose to respond to him, please do us
a favor and delete his drivel from your posts. He has no personal basis for
his negative comments as he has never used any of these products. He hasa
particular vendetta against Alotofthings because they didn't take kindly to
his telling them how to run their business three or four years ago. He
criticized their web site and objected to the fact that their sales were all
on eBay. I have friends who use Formulabs inks from Alotofthings and are
extremely happy with them. One fellow is a retired engineer who has access
to very sophisticated instruments for evaluating color gamut and similarity
to OEM ink colors. He is extremely critical about the quality of his photo
prints (Canon i9900) and has done his own custom profiles for this printer,
ink set, and the papers he uses.

I use MIS inks and Imaging Specialist inks from Precision Colors. MIS is
listed on the Imaging Specialist web site as one of their vendors. These IS
inks do tend toward the reds with my i960 printer - very similar to the OEM
inks with this printer. These inks are spot on with my wife's ip5000, and
they deliver a neutral gray/black response with this printer as well.

None of my NiMH AA, AAA batteries "suck", it's the equipment I used them
on that "sucks" power. All my batteries give power performances
reflecting their respective mAh ratings and age, and are of the
following brands:

(AA) Vapextech 2300 (mAh)
(AAA) Nexcell 800
(AA) Sanyo 2300, Sanyo 2500
(AA) Energizer 1850
(AA) FailSafe 2100

The Energizers gave the poorest performance because of their relatively
low capacity. This was easily noticed since I also used them (except the
AAA ones) in an electric toothbrush and would note how soon I had to
replace them. I did not notice any that performed abnormally poor,
'ceptin' the already noted Energizers. Either way I now use an electric
toothbrush (Oral-B) with a built-in, supposedly waterproof, rechargeable
battery. Highly recommended, works far better than brushes with AA
batteries, whose battery compartments weren't waterproof. I lost several
NiMh batteries due to water damage over the years.

I've never used BTY brand and cannot comment.


If you ran the test the supposed test yourself then it automatically
comes under immediate suspicion. . . ;-)

The lower-resolution camera I mentioned in another post is an Olympus.
It's old and outdated for a digital camera, only 1.3 megapixels, but the
optics and exposure range are first-rate for a point-and-shoot camera. I
bought it from my nephew after he upgraded to an SLR. Olympus makes good
cameras. This one had very good reviews when it came out.
