I've also got 2 new NP-400 batts coming for my A700. I might need one of those for an old Nikon 5700 on its way.

You might need a hammer to get those NP-400's into your A700 !

Well....I guess you can tell I'm dyslexic.

They'll work great in a Dynax 7d though .

Yep, I don't have one of those but I do have an A2. I was thinking about getting an extra NP-400 for it as it has an older battery.

And why couldn't Minolta just figured a way to use an NP-400 for the A200?

I think a slightly bigger grip to hold the NP-400 in it would have been beneficial .

More power , better grip .

They dropped the battery pack grip of the A1 and A2 , seems a bit odd to fit a smaller battery .

Have your new NP-800 batteries arrived yet ?

They (EN-EL1)are on their way
1200mAh / 7.4v / 8.9Wh

50% more power ?

I'm wary of third party battery manufacturers claims of battery capacity . They would often make claims that were much higher than OEM , but failed to deliver even the equal of the OEM .

It will be interesting to see how many shots a taken from a full charge .

At least it should be just as good as the original , and hold a charge well while not in use .

There are 2 chargers and at least one battery coming with the Nikon 5700. If that battery is an older one then one of the EN-EL1 batts will go to it.

Hope you have better luck with your "new" camera .

I really do, too. I had pretty much given up on another 7i or 7hi, but when this came along I just had to take another chance. Especially when I went back and looked at the few photos I did get to take with the other one.
