That being said.. I just bought some Camera/camcorder batteries for my Cannon Rebel and Canon ZR600 (Both use the same battery) and they were having a 2fer sale.
Dells website has the NB-2LH battery for 50.99 plus shipping. 2 batteries for over $100. At the link above I bought "6" camera/camcorder batteries for a couple bucks under that. Don't ask me what I'm going to do with the 2 I have now and the 6 I just bought or I'll call you Moma Moose
What camcorders did you pick up again? Mines doing that f$%king push the reset button bs again. I'm needing to pick up something quick before I get hot and heavy into the season.
I'm going to do what your doing this year. Buy a semi-cheap one every year since that is how long they last.
