Fuji HS30exr- Lithium Battery- My review continued

I wasn't sure how I was going to like the battery. Initially I thought the price was going to be outrageous for extra batteries, but I found they are actually cheaper than the rechargeable ones I've been buying over the years. For around $9 on amazon you can stock up on several easily, not that you would need more than 2 since the picture session seem to last with plenty of charge left. They recharge quickly and I would not recommend the HS25 with batteries. Just buy you a few extra of these bad boys if you are going on around the world for a few weeks. Plus the HS30 gives you a much brighter display on the 3 inch screen. I can say without a hesitation now I can't imagine using a camera without a lithium battery, they change out much more quickly than the batteries.
