Battery Change!

Image number 7713 (11/3/07) marks a new set of batteries in the camera body.

Change history:
07/23/06 - 1,151 - 1,151 - Olympus Camedia CR-V3
12/28/06 - 2,812 - 1,661 - Energizer e2 lithium CR-V3
04/30/07 - 4,537 - 1,725 - Olympus Camedia CR-V3
07/22/07 - 6,228 - 1,691 - e2 lithium AAs
11/03/07 - 7,713 - 1,485 - Olympus Camedia CR-V3

I was initially puzzled when I got that last figure, but then I remember I did a lot of on-camera review the last time my mom visited, and also, I've tried to use the camera a few times when it's been colder than normal toward the end of the life span of the batteries.

You may also be interested to know that I got a set of eneloop rechargables to use in my flash. Each battery weighs 27 grams, while each e2 lithium AA battery they replace weighs something on the order of 17 grams.

Oh well.
