Its called the Sunpak RD2000
Agreed about the higher resistance, but they’re 3.6 (or 4.2-ish) V instead of the 1.2-1.5V of normal batteries. All added they can pump out more W. I don’t know much about the NiZn-edition, but i do know that pushing NiMH (or the higher-resistance, lower-amps alkalines) hard means far less capacity than stated, and a good chance of frying batteries quickly. Oh, and charging quickly is one, but i prefer my batteries to last more than just 5 flashes :(
ps. You flipped the mWh and mAh ;)
I’m buying! I won’t sell a workhorse for a new commer specially with canon and specially when one don’t really need the new features. :)
Well I know I get about a hundred full pops with the Ni-Zn’s before I start to see a difference in performance. And Ni-Zn’s are rechargeable (less money spent over time), and greener and just as stable as lithiums. Lithiums may last a while, but so far that’s the only thing I see that they have going for them. I’ve also done a lot research on the different battery technologies, so I’m gonna stick to Ni-Zn’s, and keep recommending them to anyone who asks.
P.S. The watt/amps are not switched. If you can find a converter, 2500 mWh is almost 4000 mAh.
