| 448060 | 2006-04-24 02:01:00 | I dont have this problem in my S602 or S9500, and find the batteries last unused for months in the cameras. But it is a known problem with the 602. Well aware of the problem, mine is < 0.5 mA, but others are less aware it seems. I find I use my little Nikon Coolpix 3200 much of the time for it's portability and simplicity, but the S602 macro is just outstanding, as is the zoom with my x 1.85 teleconverter lens. The S602 is a hard act to follow. |

| 448062 | 2006-04-24 02:44:00 | Hi C. Re battery use... I really don't know. I have two sets of rechargables and the charger. From time to time I swap the sets over. If going anywhere serious - like down to Chch last weekend - then I make sure that both are fully charged. Took hundreds of shots on a Bluff run and had no problems. Typical Christchurch shot here.

My little 1meg Creative camera has one,I can see at a glance how much charge is left,this is found on the LCD screen. I wasn't aware you were a pro pic taker. :thumbs: |

| 448064 | 2006-04-24 08:40:00 | Is the S602 a Fuji? Is the Pope a Catholic? Google not working for you Cicero? www.dcresource.com And I also top up the batteries before using, even if it did shorten their life it hasn't been obvious to date and it's not as if they are hellish expensive to replace these days! |

I did look up and find a fuji with that #,but I thought who would own such a bulky camera,most certainly not GF when you can get a S5600 that does more and is half the size. Which goes to show how wrong one can be. |

Which goes to show how wrong one can be. Dont know how you came to that conclusion Cicero. The 602 & the 5600 are very similar in size. The 5600 is certainly not half the size. Sure the 5600 does a little bit more. Some more megapixels & telezoom, but no more than GF achieves with his 602 + 1.85 teleconverter. It is a much earlier model, released in 2002, compared to the new 5600 model released in recent months. As GF says, the 602 is a hard act to follow, & I would agree. Seems little reason to change it for the 5600. |

| 448067 | 2006-04-24 12:20:00 | S5600: Dimensions 114 x 85 x 112 mm (4.4 x 3.3 x 4.4 in) S602z Dimensions 110 x 79 x 95 mm (4.3x 3.1x 3.7 in) What was that again Cicero? Half what size? The S602z is smaller in all dimensions than the S5600, but is much more solid (less plastic). It has a nicer "balance" in my opinion. It (S602) has dual media card slots as well (handy when one forgets the card is still in the reader at home....). Also takes a standard hot-shoe flash, just like a real camera. |

| 448068 | 2006-04-24 19:40:00 | Thanks for putting me straight Bazz. Wish I could get a new S602 I love having to carry a separate flash and a multiplier and two cards about,I have just bought a ruck sack,would have carried all the parts perfectly. With extra pixels (S5600)I believe one can describe it as a real camera,I can understand GF feeling that he nearly has a real camera. Re size I think it's the perception that matters,you will agree it does look rather bulky. :thumbs: |
