Does the job at a reasonable cost
Pros: Value, Price
Best Uses: Portraits, Indoors
Describe Yourself: Semi-pro Photographer

Does the job that it was meant to do for a reasonable price. It does seem to struggle a little when using a larger diameter reflector i.e. 42 inch. Not a major problem for me but could be a consideration for other buyers.

I purchased two of these batteries a couple of years ago to supplement the battery in my DSLR. The batteries have never let me down. I shoot mostly in the tropics and the heat as well as humidity have not affected the battery performance. Nikon products cost more but what is the cost of a missed shot or shots because of product failure?

Not the Latest, But Fit For Purpose

Best Uses: Portable images/multimedia
Describe Yourself: Semi Pro
Primary use: Personal

This is not the latest version of Lexar's flagship CF cards but for still photography I find them completely adequate for the job. The newer versions write quicker so there might be an advantage to those who take movies with their DSLR. For me there is no advantage with the higher speed.
