I’m going on vacation in Holland next month, so I’m starting to stock up on photography gear. First up was a pair of Sandisk Ultra II 1 GB CF cards, ordered from WarehouseExpress. Next up will be a spare NP-400 battery. It’s amazing how much price difference there is on this battery, be it between original manufacturer gear, or original manufacturer and clone.

Clones seem to retail on-line for anywhere between £15 and £20. The real deal retails for anywhere from £45 to £87!

Most of the clones appear to be 1350mAh, while the true thing is 1500mAh – whether the difference is worth £25 or more, I’m really not sure.
