Eneloop Tone Glitter


Are we paying extra for the 'pointless' bling ?? :think:

definitely...

and wats more, you can't see it in normal operation... :bsmilie:
 

hmm... the marketing team at Sanyo are good.
Anyone noticed that all these new color scheme come out after Panasonic took over Sanyo's battery division 2 years ago?
 

I think the color is good for grouping the batteries. For example, using the same color (red) for the flash and replace it with a different color (green) when the first set is drain. This will allow us to keep track of which set of batteries are in use. Just my thought. ;)
Actually you should group the batteries by their capacity. When the battery said 1100 mAh, not all of them are around that capacity. If one of them has a really low mAh, then it is going to affect the others that operate within the same device. So, you should group them by similar capacity and not by color. I like the white ones best since I can label them without the worry of having 3 yellow and one red group together...
 

Hmm, me like the bling bling and I look so gay with it. :confused:
Maybe I should get a clear version of the flash to go with this. ;p
 

just don an overcoat and go flash about?
 

well marketing purpose is one thing... but i would think it will be a great conversation starter too!


either go all out:
get panasonic coloured body cameras (please no pentax lego :D) coloured fotopro tripod, coloured batteries (grip and flash :D)
someone have to come out with some funky flash units!!!

or use the plain ol black bricks.. then suddenly flash your bling bling batts! :bsmilie:
 

Doesn't seem that anyone has seen the Glitter in the flesh yet. Only reports/reviews so far seem to be coming out of Japan. Looks like Amazon Japan and some other Japanese retailers sell it at 2000+ yen for a pack of 8, which I think is quite reasonable.

While I can't find any news that it will be on sale in North America or Southeast Asia, I found a Sanyo news release stating that it will be available in Europe next month. I''ll see if I can find them when I visit Amsterdam next month.

And I appreciate reading all the colourful comments here. Keep them coming! :D
 

the glitter limited edition is so fashion.. anyway i got the 8 colour's set from eBay. :D
 

It does look really nice but it's only be available in japan.

Anyone interested in getting it? I can order it from amazon japan and get it shipped over to sg. Finding people to share the shipping cost with me. If i can get 4 or more people, the shipping cost will cost less than sgd10 for each. The battery itself after conversion cost sgd 30+. :)
 

If they're like the Eneloop Tones, they should be rechargeable up to 1500 times (instead of 1000 times for the regular eneloops) and last up to 3 years @75% capacity without a recharge which is quite good.
