I can't make up my mind which one to buy between these two. Done enough reading, and can't seperate them - so I now have to be TOLD which one to buy.
Fenix LD15 or Nitecore EZAA?

I am going through a similar think,had my heart set on the Nitecore D10 but not keen because of the problems some members are having and tossing between your 2 and now leaning more to the LD10 or the Lumapower Flashlights: Incendio V3 R5.At the moment the LD10 has my vote,but still toying.

really bad:
- when this light is empty, the head will screw down entirely, hiding the brass threads. When a battery is inserted, it will no longer do that. There is only one thing that's keeping your head from screwing down entirely, and it IS the battery. That scares me a lot. I don't want to hand this thing to a friend who's unfamiliar with flashlights and have them crank it down, crushing the battery inside. I know to stop when I hit resistance (even if it does feel a bit weird on a twisty to stop before it's done rotating) but I know people who wouldn't stop, they'd power right through that resistance. To me, this is bad design and it's the reason I won't recommend it to non-flashaholics.
This could be a clincher, I really don't like the sound of this.
Thanks to those who have kindly responded....but I'm still struggling :mecry:

The site must have sold out of the LZAA, perhaps forever; it doesn't appear among the Nitecore models, nor does it turn up when you do a site search.BatteryJunction has EZAA's on sale for $35...
Let us know what you decide!
I decided on the 'revised' Nitecore mainly because of the screwdown issue you mentioned. Also the 'camera mount' and a couple of extra lumens swayed me. I know it's an older peice than the Fenix, but I'm happy.
I will post some pretty pics when it comes.
Thanks to all who took time out to reply.
Hey Kingfisher, where did you purchase your EZAA? I've been looking for a new one but they seemed to be sold out everywhere. Thanks!
Trust me mcnair55, not buying a D10 because a couple members had issues is a serious mistake on your part. If you review all the D10 threads on this site (here is a good place to start) you'll find it's a forum favorite that's tried, tested and true. I've EDC'd a D10 Tribute every single day since I got it and I can't praise it's operation enough. Out of dozens of 1xAA lights I own, it's the only one I leave the house with every single day.
That said, the LD10 is what I carried before I had my D10 and it's a great little light. The soft-click UI is a pleasure to use, the threading in the head/tail is smooth and strong, and the light feels sturdy in your hands. I expect it'd survive a fall better than my D10. It has a good beam tint and is plenty bright. I hate the clip - it's the worst of any light I own (in my opinion).
Having owned, carried and used both extensively, the D10 is my recommendation.
And now I am glad I am avoiding the D10,too many problems on another thread also,so no serious mistake on my part.
