Every device needs a driving force to operate, just as every living thing
needs a heart to keep it alive! Basically electric power does this job for
any kind of devices nowadays. Similarly for any digital camera too, a good
battery is necessary in order to ensure an excellent performance from it
as long as possible. Being such a crucial task as if searching for a good
heart for a human being, perhaps the most tedious thing about digital
cameras is the quest for their battery consumption and thereby finding a
suitable one for any particular one. Yet a basic overview regarding this
so important component of a digital camera makes the ventures of the users
somewhat less complicated and makes life easier with a proper selection of
the battery!
Leaving aside the ever power thirsty LCD screens and flashes, the digital
cameras themselves exhaust batteries much faster than film cameras, due to
their state of the art electronic designs and intricate circuitry. Many
digital cameras run from AA cells, around 4, and can even drain a set of
alkaline cells in less than 1 hour of working! For example, the Kodak
DC120 draws about 210mA during start or switch ON, but progresses to
around 1.3A with the association of the LCD fully working and can go ahead
to about 2.1A while picture taking and after it too.
With all these nightmares regarding the batteries of the digital cameras,
it is worthwhile to analyze and reveal some of the available batteries for
the digital cameras in an effort to explore area of power consumption in
this fantastic device. Coming to first one of these, like its great name
suggests, it is the Li-ion (Lithium Ion). It is one of the latest cell
types available to digital camera users. This has many advantages to its
credit. It is light in weight and currently available for many commercial
uses and thus being so the Li-ion (Lithium Ion) battery type is becoming
quite popular. This has an added advantage of being able to endow with
more power than any of the other main cell types available. It is also
free from the problems of memory effect, hat some battery types do have,
and maintenance is least in this type of battery. These are but real
goodies about this Li-ion (Lithium Ion) battery. Yet it has one major
disadvantage, that is, the price is usually significantly higher than
conventional batteries, due to its sophisticated design and technology.
Coming to the next one in the line, the NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride). This
is a battery that is perhaps the most frequently under use for not only
digital cameras, but also for other sophisticated devices like laptop
computers! This has the advantage of being cheap in price due to the fact
that it incurs cheap manufacturing costs, and thus a choice for many
users! But this does have the problems of memory effect, and much more
maintenance and care is required while handling this kind of battery.
Another such battery is the NiCAD (Nickel Cadmium) Battery. This is
perhaps belonging to one of the older cell types generally available for
older laptops and electronic devices. These batteries or cells have an
aptitude for handling high power loads, and therefore is more frequently
found in handy power tools and devices that require more amounts power to
work efficiently and perfectly. Yet again, these batteries too have the
problems of memory effect, and much more maintenance and care is required
while handling this kind of battery.
Apart from the different batteries themselves, the selection should be
based upon the charging techniques and the different charges available for
all these digital camera batteries. Latest batteries come handy with
charging free techniques too! So care needs to be taken in this area also,
depending upon the requirements of the user.
With all the vivid conversation regarding the hearts of the digital
cameras, their batteries, it is expected for every person going through
the lines to have grabbed a significant amount of information in dealing
with the intricacies of the purchase, and thereby also augment the ability
of the person in using such a sophisticated device as a digital camera
with a proper battery!
