jaapv Posted November 24, 2016 Share #21 Posted November 24, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) and this won't help resolve the CCD vs CMOS debate either... Indeed it won't as it has been resolved quite a while ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rus Posted November 24, 2016 Share #22 Posted November 24, 2016 Indeed it won't as it has been resolved quite a while ago. True. And I guess for some it perhaps has never been an issue worth debating in the first place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted December 11, 2016 Share #23 Posted December 11, 2016 Yup. If you want high ISO, live view, even video...sadly CCD is finished. But I can still have it with my M8's when I want to have an affair... cheers... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 11, 2016 Share #25 Posted December 11, 2016 Don't leave lithium batteries fully discharged for a long period or they may drop below the critical voltage, at which point they will no longer accept a charge. I have a lithium battery USB power bank, where that happened. Luckily the makers agreed that 6 months without charging was too short a period for it to die and replaced it. I now charge it every three months or so. We have a number of lithium battery torches and bike lights. They were mostly inexpensive ones and usually came with blue Ultrafire 18650 over-discharge unprotected batteries. Quite a few of these will no longer accept a charge and have gone to the recycling. I now only buy Panasonic or Nitecore protected batteries, which fully cut off when they fall to the floor voltage. The stated capacity on Ultrafire batteries is frequently totally fictitious. Many of them are just re-cased cells stripped from scrapped laptop batteries, made by Chinese home workers. There are also loads of fakes around of the "good" Panasonic and Nitecore batteries on Fleabay and even Amazon. Buy only from a reputable seller. I buy all mine from Ecolux in the UK and have never had a problem with batteries bought from them. Sadly you cannot use some rechargeable lithium cells such as RCR123A/16340 in place of the non-rechargeable CR123A lithium batteries used in some Leica flashes (e.g. SF-24D). The fully charged voltage of around 4.2V per cell is too high and trips a safety circuit preventing the flash from switching on (I know I tried and another member threw his SF24 flash away, thinking it was broken). Hopefully at some point, some company might make a voltage regulated version of these rechargeables. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
