All,
I have 3 batteries with my GX100. The original Ricoh one lasts well and is now more than 2 years old. I can normally fill 4gb of card with RAW files.
I bought a clone in Austria, which is useless and lasts about 1/3rd of the Ricoh.
Another clone I bought in Italy from D'Arty ( french electrical chain store) and thats as good as the Ricoh original.
of course the batteries are small and it all depends how much motor work you make them do. The worst battery is the optio of using AAA cells. I tried rechargeables but I didnt like the pressure they put on the battery door.
All said and done I think the batteries (original and the no-name from D'Arty)
do a good job given their size.
BTW Osman , lovely pictures ! especially like the tables. Reminds me of swirling dervishs ?
b rgds
