If you are like me and ever had a hard time going through the long list of all the available flights, you might be interested in the new search engine I recently developed: Book.green. The main idea is to present the flights in a way that lets you easily compare the differences in route, duration, ecology and certainly price. Let’s have a look, picture is worth thousands words sometimes 😉 You can see flights grouped by routes, so that it’s…

New battery brand, Patona Platinum, was added to the Fujifilm NP-W126S compatible battery test. Its capacity looks good and temperature management even better, so definitely recommended for European photographers (as it isn’t available in the US). Read more details in the test, which covers 14 different battery variants now! And drop me a note in case your favorite (and widely available) battery is missing in the test… 😉

Phoide aims to contain great photography spots all around the world in an easy to use web application with many…

I updated the Fuji battery test with 5 more brands, which results in a very thorough test of 13 distinct types of NP-W126S compatible batteries! Some of them show pretty good performance, similar to the Fuji’s original batteries. The new brands are Watson, Wasabi, Green Extreme, Jupio and Baxxtar Red. Also structure of the test was slightly updated, presentation of results should be easier to read now. Enjoy!

I haven’t posted anything for a while, but there’s a huge update of the NP-W126 battery test coming. Not only the content will be restructured, but there will be 5 new brands tested! These brands are Watson, Wasabi, Green Extreme, Baxxtar and Jupio. Stay tuned!

I have already done quite a bit of measurements of several NP-W126S batteries, either originals or 3rd party clones in my big test. However, I haven’t gone beyond the + and – terminals, while the batteries have 4 in total. It’s about time to correct this omission today! A bit of theory All Li-ion batteries obviously have at least two terminals: + and -. Some of them feature more than these two though, as is the case of NP-W126S, where…

I have just finished testing of a new Patona Premium battery that works as a replacement for the Fujifilm NP-W126S. It performs very well, definitely exceeds the ordinary Patona and shares pretty much the same results as the best non-OEM battery tested so far — ExPro White. It’s a pleasure to see a battery that delivers the claimed capacity. Check out the full test results!
