Review: EN-EL3 Battery from 7Dayshop
I recently shopped round for a couple of spare batteries for my Nikon D50. In the end I decided to chance the superb deal from 7dayshop.com - EN-EL3a at £6.49 each. The genuine cell goes for £50 in some places. I also ordered a new cell for my Dads Olympus Mju Digital, a mini tripod and a BL-5C battery for my Nokia. This lot cost £3.95 to be delivered and turned up 2 days after I ordered, which is pretty fast (I ordered out of business hours).
The build quality of the cells is fine, and they charged up on the Nikon Charger without issue. So far I have only popped one in and tested it with some indoor flash shots, but the flash cycled fast and the cell showed no signs of discharge. I will update this review when I have had chance to use the camera for a thousand shots or so.
The BL-5c I bought for my phone has held up fine for 2 days so far and is still showing full charge. That was £3.60!
Have a look at the EN-EL3a from 7Dayshop here.

Big Changes
On Novemeber 2nd 2006, I fly to Hong Kong From Heathrow, and after a few days in Hong Kong, I will be flying to Auckland. I have a one year Working Holiday Visa arranged for New Zealand, and fully intend to spend the year there. To this end, I have handed in my notice at work and I finish up on Friday 27th October.
As you can imagine, I am pretty excited about all this! I will of course be blogging about my travels here, and other stuff will appear over at www.backpackingnz.co.uk and outdoor activities will also go to www.spareweekend.com.

Nikon D50 First Impressions
I have had my Nikon D50 for around a month now, and I have taken over 1000 photos already!
These are my first impressions (still working towards a big review) and most are based on the differences between the DSLR and a prosumer or bridge digicam - like my Kodak DX6490….
