Ouch...Flashaholics have spares.
Wha happened?

 

[wvaltakis2]

I had spares for all the flashlights...does that make it worse?And in their defense, we've gotten over 500 pics from those batteries so far.

Dont be to worried, That $16USD is about $19AUD and is the price our Aussie supermarkets extort for the same product.

Can't be helped but its good thing it happened so next time you will remember. My fist bad time was I miscalculate the battery requirement for a studio shoot at a clients place. It was embarassing when my mireless speedlights were not shooting. Then realised that the master was out of batteries, Imagine 2700mah nimhs out! Lucky I had some used alkalines in the case....won't happen again.

You're still buying batteries for your camera>??

 

[DUQ]

That's the kind of prices we pay for batteries up here.

Disneyland/Disneyworld has to be one of the most expensive places to visit...a great time, but the "Mickey Toll" is brutal.

 

[BatteryCharger]

That's funny...I was there a few months ago and I remember being totally shocked at the price of 123's. :laughing:


The McDonalds there is even worse...I think we spent around $24 for a really crappy meal for two people and no drinks.

Try The Source by Circuit City in Canada. At the current exchange rate ($1 US = $1.15837 CAN), these 4 AA Energizer cells at C$21.99 are US$18.98

I hope it was for a camera and not your lights. LOL

Their battery prices are nothing compared to their prices for food and water.

 

[Lurveleven]

You guys needs to come to Norway and see our prices, saw a store selling a 2 pack for $24, that is $48 for 4. Crazy!!

Whatever the cost, Disneyworld is still by far the best place ever to take your kids. I'd live there if I could figure out how.

cheers

 

[NetKidz]

That's the ordinary price here in Taiwan.

Energizer e2 lithium 2 AA Pack is sold as NT$260, about US$7.9

 

[ACMarina]

That sounds like what you'd pay at RadioShack

Note to self always buy camera with rechargeable lithium cell, and buy extra cells, and charger.

Then consider youself lucky to be a flashaholic, because of course a flashaholic values batteries much more than food or water. We can starve, but our flashlights? Heaven forbid. :laughing:

Consider yourself lucky that Disneyland stocks the batteries that you needed.

I stacked all of the "to go" stuff in a pile the night before... Prior to leaving home, I decided to top off my Nikon D70s DSLR (camera) rechargeable battery at the last minute (the battery state indicator is almost useless in my experience).

Needless to say, I forgot to take the battery (can't justify the $50 for a spare at this time). I lugged around a ten pound DSLR, extra lens, memory, case, etc. for about sixteen hours...

Of course, I had spare batteries for my EDC...
