    LOL, still in the packaging... I did use the lite, as expected, the life is much shorter.

    I just bought 4 Eneloop XX for RM 65 from All IT Hypermarket. Just charged them up for the first time. Haven't had the time to actually try them out yet. LOL!

    Wow! That's a huge price drop! I remember it was selling a lot more expensive few months ago! RM75 if I remembered correctly.

    Well, I think their listed price was RM 70? I bargained it down to RM 65 or RM 67, if I remember correctly...

    I will be taking them for their first "run" tomorrow on my SB800 flash. Hehe...

    If they work well, I might buy more and use them for Ryan's robodog toy which sucks battery power like there's no tomorrow!

    Really? I wonder if the EN-EL3e battery has a problem. Mine's draining very quickly actually. I'm not sure if it's the battery problem, or that the D300 has a higher idle power drain than the D70.

    That is true. But I have lost packages over ebay too many times, more than 20%. So if it's only RM10 difference, I may just get from Lowyat.

    If EL3e is draining too fast, time to get a new battery.

    Nah. Doubt it is problematic. I just didn't charge it up for a long time since my D300 has been idle for a long long time. LOL. Babies x2 and huge DSLRs don't go along well on your arms.

    And the one that died was the one that Nikon replaced for the D70.... remember that Chai? LOL. We went to get it replaced together I believe.

    LOL! I can't remember, but when I sold my D70, the battery was already half dead, and that was years ago...

    LOL. Yup. It's that long ago! It was when Nikon was still in that old place in Section 51A in PJ.

    Anyways... would you guys go with a 3rd party en-el3e? Was thinking of getting those for the battery pack instead of 8x AA eneloops as an alternative... Hmmm.

    Err.. I think I was there too? It was at the old place in PJ.

    The MB-D10 Battery Extender Grip for the D300 lo....

    Which All IT?

    The one at the top floor of IPC, Mutiara Damansara. But you will have to ask them for a discount. The official price is RM 75.

    BTW, Groupon has an offer for four standard Eneloops with a charger for RM 49, or RM 59 with delivery. Very good deal too.
