Newbie to Casio Exilim S770 & other qns

[andretan]

Hey all~

I just bought a new Casio Exilim S770 and I got some questions...

1. When doing a half-press on the shutter button, the camera makes a soft "Rrrr" noise followed by a short but soft "Zzzt" noise. Is this common or is this a defect?

2. Advisable to get 3rd party Li-ion batteries?

3. How much does the original cost?

4. Is there any charger available in the market that doesn't require me to dock the camera in the original dock? Cos I'll be going overseas soon, and it would be kinda troublesome to lug the dock along.

Thanks

Normal



2. Advisable to get 3rd party Li-ion batteries?

you may to cut cost, but it does not last as long as the originals



3. How much does the original cost?

abiut double or triple the price of the 3rd party



4. Is there any charger available in the market that doesn't require me to dock the camera in the original dock? Cos I'll be going overseas soon, and it would be kinda troublesome to lug the dock along.

yes, and it is cheap. about $30 i think.
