Best Rechargeables for 580EX II?

[mpenza]

some photograhers use energizer as standby batteries in case the rechargable one failed.

Yup, I use alkalines (energizer or other brands) as a backup too, for times when my rechargeables run out or I didn't want to carry charger with me (e.g. travelling). Recycling rate is slower with alkalines vs NiMH rechargeables but still alright.

Ok so if i am looking to buy some rechargeables (first time) for my 430EX i will need 4 of them.. Probably Eneeloops since theres so much raves about these batteries, how much am i looking to set myself back by? Including the charger, and where can i get it from cheapest now? I dont care if you bought yours from where last time i just want to know the cheapest place to get it now.

anyone??

u probably could be more polite.

Something I find with the 580 EX is that it recycles fast when shooting occassional flash shots. But when shooting continuously (couple of hundreds within 1 hours), the recycling times is longer than 550 EX (both using external battery pack CP-E3). Thought it could be due to the 580EX overheating faster vs the 550 EX. Not sure if the 580 EX II is better in this aspect.

Hey mpenza, I share your sentiment. When it came to the night event, indoors the refresh time dropped quite a bit on the 580, missed a few moments. Maybe I hav the bad habit of multiple shoots, so the 3rd frame would normally not fire too.

Club snap be a more polite place would be like when pigs can fly....

AP Funan for Sanyo enelope

that's great, Enegizers has rechargable ones.

By now, the sanyo 2 batt and 4 batt charger would have cost more than 21?

Not necessary, price might have reduced.

In fact even now, the price of the Eneloops is very reasonable.
