Re: Minolta DiMAGE 7i review

Sanyo Eneloops would keep you going for the day , I've used them in mine as well as flash guns .

I don't know how many shots I could get out of a charge , but they certainly lasted all day .

I seem to remember that the original 7 could sometimes develop a fault somewhere in the power supply side that could help drain the battery .

I lent one of mine that I had spare to a friend who didn't have a digital camera ( he was a film only shooter ) for a project he wanted to do .

After a while that one developed that fault , but I had another one spare to lend him and never got around to stripping it down to investigate further .

Actually I used it as a part's camera to the front lens element to replaced the scratched one on the other one I lent him , so didn't bother .

.

Did you get any further using it for infrared photography , but on a tripod ?
