The Sanyo Eneloops fix problems with AA-size batteries.
Nope, they don't. I'm testing the K-x right now and Eneloops are not
better than Duracell NiMH's. First I tried Duracell 2300mAh's and wasn't
impressed at all. After some 50 or 60 shots camera blacked out. Took
Eneloops from my AF-360FGZ, charged 'em properly yesterday evening, made
some 4 or 5 test shots... and got depleted battery warning today morning.
Shortly after that camera simply switched off. Set of Panasonic Evoia
alkalines helped me out. I put the same Eneloops (and Duracells) back to
flashguns and those work fine.
Now I'm trying my third set of rechargeables - Energizer 2500mAh. I didn't
even charged em but just placed to camera as they came from drawer.
Surprisingly they work quite OK, at least camera turns on every time. It
may show red "empty battery" sign, but works fine and even charges the
pop-up flash.
I'm speechless. All past problems I was aware of - related to Ni-Mh
rechargeables - 'were' fixed by Eneloops, so I'm very surprised and puzzled
by such findings... That looks like another 'Pentax almost did it well'.
Almost...
