nitecore battery sony

Anyone do any long term testing of their sony batteries? (2x Xplore rugged tablet, all original batteries, and a Samsung tablet, build in), Perhaps we need a burst-sensor, with autonomous sound- & WIFI-warning.:)). also looking forward to have the Z9 version also. The same batteries would appear as 100% charged in the camera when charged with a Sony charger. (More seriously I would find that warning annoying). And what if you want to charge a battery while using the camera at the same time? The Verge reached out to Nitecore with a request for comment but didnt immediately hear back. In the meantime, the older versions of the lenses - and three other lenses - are being discontinued. Give me the full power OE battery over this useless (for me) functionality and the worry it'll stop working or cause issues -its happened in the past. In my experience, Nitecore is above most third party manufacturers. Actually I find lenses and AF modes have a greater effect on battery drain. Why would you call "innovation" as "copycat"? This was with OEM, not third party batteries. Now start making them for different cameras, Now if the could only add USB-C to humans and then I charge myself at work :). Tokina is restructuring its product lineup by announcing price increases on 13 of its lenses, each of which will receive a slight rebrand in the process. What phone does inside is transforming the external power to the appropriate voltage/amperage and what's most important, it takes care of tracking the battery condition and is able to stop charging when the batter is full, so it really is a charger. And as far as the editor's note is concerned, maybe with magnetic attachment, but the 3rd party usb battery chargers clip onto the batteries allowing me to charge camera batteries (usually 2 at a time) via usb power banks while they are in my bag which I find far more convenient. Also, they wouldn't build it into batteries before building it into the cameras. Find out what we're doing differently. Third-party battery manufacturers tend to price their offerings lower than Sony, Canon and Nikon to entice consumers to buy their products, but the added USC-C port on the UFZ100 could make it more expensive. Maybe qi charging the battery in camera would be something worth having. Even when you film videos, for YouTube or other purposes, ideally you need at least two cameras filming you from different angles. I've been doing it for decades. When I'm mobile I also feel weird leaving my camera plugged in to a battery pack in a bag, thinking that if I drop or bump the bag am I going to break the jack? Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day is back with the second part of his three-part tour of the Kodak factory. Absolutely they should do this! Take for example a a hike. All batteries should be equipped with a usb-c port. Why would it be wasteful? Check out some summer vacation photos from beautiful British Columbia to see for yourself. It's actually good for the cells to have a slightly less than full charge if you aren't going to use them right away. @dr.noise: Technically speaking, it's a power source, not a charger. Hardware data recovery is complex, requiring sophisticated, expensive equipment. Whats the best camera for around $2000? The possibilities are infinite. Charging with the battery in camera should be the last option used. First announced this spring, the new flash storage promises improved performance, more storage, better efficiency and a smaller footprint, allowing it to be utilized in various products, including laptops and smartphones. But cudos for thinking outside the box! I use third party batteries and none of them damaged my cameras.They usually have a lower capacity than the original, but considering their cost, they are competitive. The A1 is probably the most power-hungry Sony camera, probably because of the sensor capabilities. If this were available for my smaller Pana batteries I might consider it tho. Let good cop Jordan and bad cop Chris walk you through their thoughts. The feature does make sense for those who are going through multiple batteries in a day. If the original Sony is not that thing imagine that one. Third party batteries for Sony (either such as this one, or replacements for the FW-50) usually have a smaller capacity, may deteriorate quite fast over time, and may not display correct (or at all) remaining percentage in-camera. DJI has a new gimbal, and it's compatible with some of the revolutionary accessories from the Ronin 4D. Never had a problem with them but I understand the fear. Add that to an item with a limited lifespan like a battery and here's more for the overworked landfill. That is the big power hog, more so than the sensor. A famous, (notorious) Belgian politician one liner was always"We shall deal with the problems from the moment they arrive":-). Definitely not bicker about it like we are ;). The same goes for this. @Sylverphoto -- not necessarily, adopters can get royalty-free license: https://usb.org/document-library/usb-30-adopters-agreement. The battery is the majority of the product by volume and weight and the battery is needed to operate the camera, regardless. Let's see. Might be to avoid charging while the camera is using the battery. You can't use those batteries with USB port for charging, but they can act as a powerbank. I had a third party battery destroy my first mirrorless (EOS-M) when it swelled inside the camera. Perhaps that's what they were trying to avoid. Many still do. For me thats great! While modern cameras are equipped with USB-C ports for powering the camera and charging them, I would still appreciate if somebody made a battery that could be charged while it's in the camera (or not necessarily a camera, but other devices that use the same battery model).Immediate power needs would be provided by the battery, but it would be charged in the meantime, too. These things could charge themselves using magic and I still would never put one in my A1. Your Qi solution is clever and I love Qi charging for my phone (got several pads strewn around the house) but I'm not sure I see the upside there if you still need to put the battery in a charger, seems like excess heat/energy use for no gain. Like Apples previous mouse, the USB port on this battery sits in the most inconvenient place possible. Honestly have not had issues with Nitecore, Watson and Wasabi batteries in my Fuji cameras but I'm not sure I want to take the chance in the A1. Exactly! Micron's next-generation 232-layer NAND has started shipping. I dont ever feel the need to tiptoe around reserving power. OR use camera as normal, charge spare battery without dock in pocket or backpack and no need for extra cradle/dock. Although a lot of people only upload images to Instagram from their smartphones, the app is much more than just a mobile photography platform. I have found that generally my sony batteries start out with similar capacity to the clones but after about a year the clones start dying out. You would need to charge in a power outlet. Editor's note: As cool is the addition of a USB-C port for charging is, Im admittedly waiting for the day when camera batteries have built-in Qi wireless charging, so I can just pop them out of my camera and onto one of the various wireless chargers I have around my home for my phones and other gadgets. In-camera charging means 2 can be charged in 1-2 hours, its not really much of an inconvenience. Theres also a built-in charging indicator that will give you a rough idea of how charged the battery is without needing to pop it back into your camera first. it contains a dedicated charger insideit is so highly dedicated it only charges this one batterybut ok I see the point.usully a charger must transform mains AC to 5 volt DC and you still need external charger for this battery, just not dedicated, that is convenient but these batteries contain more electronics inside that ultimately will add to global waste. Besides the presence of a USB-C connector, the battery itself comes with a power indicator light that flashes red when its charging and stays green when its fully charged. The device is called a charger. Nitecore claims the battery can be charged fully in four hours. Charging while you walk vs charging at destination. I doubt though not sure. I think the use case here is relay charging - replace a battery with a fresh one, then charge the dead battery in your bag. Seems like less waste than needing auxiliary chargers. This is the only innovation in battery tech in.about 15-20 years? and I love those with built in charger also, so will definitely go grap a few of these. It's actually not the first Sony battery I've seen with built in USB ports, but it stands to reason that it *has* to have a lower capacity if they've sacrificed a little space for electronics and the port (and 3rd parties lie blatantly about battery capacity all the time). I save a few more grams in my hiking backpack Dont understand why some wont buy a 3rd party battery. Little if any wear and tear of the connector, and with nearly the same convenience of wireless charging (I use many Olight flashlights so I have their Omino 4-way magnetic charger) without the drawbacks of wireless charging (slow and inefficient charging). I wish you good luck!The cheap Wasabi charger does not have pins for overheat and voltage protection. Maybe you are keeping one of these for your phone in our pocket anyway. Im admittedly waiting for the day when camera batteries have built-in Qi wireless charging"Dumb. It does seem a bit like a tradeoff, though Nitecores battery may not last as long or charge as fast, but the USB-C compatibility makes it all the more convenient. - A weekly roundup of our favorite tech deals. You really need some serious 8k footage to need that amount of batteries and be able to charge them in the shoot, a battery grip with two will last through most days of demanding photo shoots or one spare if not using it. You guys go ahead though, I wish you well. I'm not sure if I like this idea. Sony batteries last long enough and 3rd party USB chargers are small enough that I don't really mind carrying a separate / dual charger, and just relying on the two OEM batteries I have. Cool. It's time to take a look at what Panasonic is doing right and wrong with their cameras in 2022. I like nitecore products generally. Hmm the tendency is to have in-camera charging, so having this in the battery is pretty useless for newer models.OTOH the charge status LED is quite useful - e.g. Fortunately, we fixed it. Or any city holiday/city walk. What's the best camera for shooting landscapes? Or of course the fuel gauge. (unless I misunderstood something..?). DPReview TV: Sensor sizes don't make any sense. Nitecore is looking to change that, however, with its new UFZ100 battery, a copycat Sony FP-Z100 battery that has a built-in USB-C charging port. Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols has died, Debris from an out-of-control Chinese rocket fell over the Indian Ocean, Sony is retiring the PlayStation 5's Accolades feature because people aren't nice. ), Film Friday: How Markus Hofstaetter uses 'smart home' tools to automate his darkroom and studio, Micron ships its 232-layer 3D NAND flash with more storage, better performance and a smaller package size, Photographer Reuben Wu uses drones to shed new light on Stonehenge for the National Geographic August cover. I just hate tethering stuff Im using and dont like bringing too much extra stuff (to loose). The electricity? Haven't had a bad NiteCore product so far (chargers/flashlights/headlamps/etc), so I'm confident this will be a great product. I have six FP-Z100 batteries for my a1. High resolution, weather-sealed bodies and wide dynamic range are all important. I have taken the battery out of my A7RIV exactly twice since getting it in 2019, so I recognize this product is not for me. Theres also a built-in button on the battery, and pressing it will make the indicator light show different colors depending on how much juice the battery currently has: green for over 50 percent, blue for less than 50 percent, and red for less than 10 percent. I was saying when do have concerns about batteries in general, it is charge, but the a1 is actually far more efficient than other cameras Ive used (I use Z and Olympus gear too). The risk of compatibility with what? By submitting your email, you agree to our, A camera battery with a USB-C port is a gadget whose time has come, Sign up for the (without a cable sticking out of you camera to your pocket). Sony seems to have lingered on one battery standard long enough where the reverse engineering finally caught up. While being able to charge a battery directly from a USB-C cable is great, can't all the cameras compatible with this battery use USB-C for battery charging / continuous power already? I try to stick with OEM for my 1st/2nd battery (specially with larger & longer lasting ones where I may only need the 2) and then go 3rd party for extras I may not use as often (tho realistically all should be cycled equally), just what works for me and my personal comfort level. All whilst using your camera. It's not intended to sound like "bickering", just saying that I am also glad that there is a direct charging socket on the battery, it is useful (from years back in the Petzl case..) and IMO better that they are usb-c like Nitecore are using anyway. The Nikon Z30 is the company's latest 'creator' focused mirrorless camera, a 21MP APS-C model made to be more vlogging friendly than ever. My experience with these built in USB charge batteries are that they lose charge very fast. And you canwith this battery you can charge it any way you like. The 3rd party charger may be building in a safety buffer. Will Sony like this? I used to buy cheap clone batteries for my old Canons and they never lasted. to check if your spare isn't actually empty. I am sure that their Sony Batteries will be just top grade too and can't wait to get a few! Built in USB ports trades convenience for capacity, despite this specific battery being minimally affected. Eh, charging the spare battery in your pocket from your external battery pack WHILE youre using the camera? By putting a USB-C charging port directly inside the battery, Nitecore removes the needs to carry around a dedicated camera battery charger. I wonder why anybody did not come up with this earlier. You need to really have a high power consumption to have a several battery charger. Every battery then needs the electronics to facilitate charging. What happens in the future, when new and better technology comes out and it's not in the form of USB-C socket? You cant use it while its charging even if its practical to charge straight in headlamp. I bought a device with an USB C connector and in which I can plug a battery, it charges the battery. If you're looking for the perfect drone for yourself, or to gift someone special, we've gone through all of the options and selected our favorites. Everyone complained when Sony stopped supplying the charging cradle and only did in camera. Nitecores version offers 2,250mAh capacity, which is just 30mAh less than Sonys own NP-FZ100 battery pack, but that seems like a small price to pay for the added convenience of the onboard USB-C charger. I now seriously wonder whether one could sell a (vapourware) USB-Z charger to Russians.Well, illegally that is, exportwise, but you get my drift. When I switched to Fujifilm GFX, the first thing I did was buy a Wasabi dual charger because the Fuji charger only does one at a time for a camera designed to be run with (and supplied with) two batteries! I see they have been making sony clone batteries for a while. Just a theory. One still needs one in the device (camera/light) and one on charge..? In China, I'm living in Shanghai, official price is US$62 (398 CNY). Turns out 2 in a grip is good for almost all occasions, and a couple backups seals the day. I think that depends per person.I personally like to use an Anker Powerport USB charger have one charger and 5 cables running to all my devices that need to be charged at the same time.To me its more convenient and takes less space. I've never heard of a battery with a USB port, but it seems like a great idea to me. Ask me if I would ever put an off brand battery into a $3000 camera. This would have been great when in-body charging wasn't as common. That day, when jumping to (negative) conclusions became a more favourable pastime than jumpstarting your car/camera.;)). NOW, you can have one power bank+one type cable to charge phone AND camera while using them. Regarding waste, this ultimately saves material considering you don't need a separate charger, right? Now, you can simply use the same charger you likely already have on hand for your laptop, tablet or smartphone. Either way, I see how it could be frustrating. I think this is brilliant. Not exactly elegant, but its the closest solution Ive been able to rig up so far. " The quality is good. Looks kind of cool but I remember the rather recent thread "I missed a great shot due to the Sony battery warning." Nikkor 400mm F4.5 First Look - Director's Cut! While a USB-C port is welcome, I would prefer something like Olights magnetic charging. IMO. With a 2,250mAh capacity, its only slightly smaller than Sonys 2,280mAh NP-FZ100 and works with many of the companys most recent camera models, including the A6600 and A7 IV. If the camera supports in camera charging, this battery will thusly be charged. Yeah, that's what I was saying (not very successfully, it seems :-) ). I never took the battery charger of my A7-III out of its box, I just plug the camera via USB-C and let it charge the battery on its own. Subscribe to get the best Verge-approved tech deals of the week. Canon's high end APS-C mirrorless camera has plenty of compelling features, but is it worth the price? And the a6600 is probably the mirrorless camera with the most battery life.
