The Best Digital Camera Batteries

Digital cameras are becoming smaller and smaller but their power consumption needs remain virtually the same, if not more. The ever increasing amount of processing power for the higher megapixel resolutions has caused a frustration that is common to digital camera users everywhere: Batteries that run down too soon.

Well there is good news on the horizon. In what likely represents the most exciting breakthrough in battery innovations, Panasonic has unveiled a new battery technology called Oxyride™ that outperforms alkaline batteries by a reported margin of two to one! The best part of this breakthrough is that Panasonic will be marketing these batteries at the same price as alkaline batteries. If you had your choice, would you choose a set of Panasonic batteries that last twice as long as alkaline batteries, for the same purchase price? I know I would!

One of the biggest problems associated with digital camera photography is battery life. No matter what brand of camera you purchase, the batteries can't live long enough. This is where Panasonic Oxyride batteries step in.

According to Panasonic:

"The Oxyride Extreme Power battery was developed with a technology based on
a combination of newly developed materials and an advanced manufacturing process.
The newly adopted cathode materials (Oxy Nickel Hydroxide and newly developed
manganese dioxide and graphite) allow an increase in the quantity of the pouring
amount inside the battery and a controlled mixing ratio, leading to higher voltage and
current. Additionally, a new vacuum pouring technology enables the quantity of
electrolyte in the battery to be increased, resulting in higher durability. With the
combination of these technological developments, Panasonic’s new Oxyride Extreme
Power battery allows users to enjoy the benefits of improved power performance and
durability."

So what does that mean to you? It means that as soon as these AA and AAA batteries are released for sale you should go down and buy them. Without putting on a pair of diapers, this reviewer couldn't get more excited about being able to take more photos without adding more batteries. Seriously.
