i've not used a k-m, but i have a k200 and i prefer the images from k100!

good luck all.

They look like rebranded Hybrios. These were some of the first of this type of rechargable battery - predecessor of Eneloops.

I had a set and they were very good, held their charge much longer than a standard rechargable and stayed fresher when not in use. They were very useful in colder weather as they didn't have to be hot out of the charger to hold their charge.

Must admit, they only lasted about a year in my K100d, but i did use them almost all the time. I still use them, but their performance went off (but still outdid standard recgarges for holding the charge when not in use).

I'd say if these are cheaper than Eneloops then give them a go. the rebrand might also mean an improvement in performance.

i've had 4 (i think) pics on explore on flickr... i checked using 'Scout'. Must admit, i knew nothing about the Explore bit and still don't. One of the pics and the only one not to be dropped has had lots of views, presumably from Explore.

i'm a tad lazy and just put everything on Flickr. it's also good as it means friends in far places can see the good, the bad and the terrible shots i take.

i'll have a look later as work won't let me use flickr.

SRS have a PK mount in the used equipment section of their site. Might be worth having a word with them and see if they have a PK/A or can let you know when one comes in.

i got a k200d a few weeks back... at PC World. it was the last one in the shop. you could also try currys/dixons as i believe they had some too. could be worth calling a few 'local' branches. good luck.

hello and welcome.

i've just got a 200d, but i've had a 100d for a couple of years now and they can get through batteries in the cold weather.

the best ones i've used have been pre-charged type - i have some Hybrios that were fantastic, but are past their prime. i've recently started using Eneloops and they are very good, especially in colder weather when you don't have the luxury of putting the batteries warm from the charger into the camera.

interesting point about the lithium calibration - can you change the calibration on the 200d? i was very impressed with the supplied batteries, they managed over 1,000 shots and lots of messing about with settings and stuff before they died.

cheers guys.

cheers Dave.

it was a fun shot, playing with the swan and a fisheye lens. i knew it wouldn't be bothered when i shoved the camera down in front of it and i just kept snapping as (s)he carried on. if you're ever in Holyrood park i will suggest you use JUP (leg ring) as a model.

not a harris' hawk, they are dark brown - definitely a falcon, could be a gyr/saker/peregrine hybrid or a juvenile peregrine as adults are greyer with stripes across the chest.

lovely shots, beautiful bird.
