Using 4 Sanyo 1850 batteries (not even seasoned yet - only second time recharge):
1. 260+ shots to an IBM Microdrive with LCD and AF on for ALL shots until the MD ran out of space
and then, using the same unrecharged set of batteries, another
2. 25 minutes of video with sound
until the batteries ran out.
It's GREAT battery life alright.

Thanks for sharing. Do you meant to say "Li CR3V" batteries, instead of "Li CRV5"? It's true that the "Li CR3V" batteries are very lasting, but unfortunately they are both expensive and not rechargeable.

sorry, it is the crv3 batteries. btw, my batteries started showing low battery signal today. think it has been sl more than 2 weeks since xitec. i think there must have been more than a thousand shots. on some days i shoot about 100 pics. all with lcd, af, histogram and 70% with flash on. just popped in my new nimh oly aa batteries. will see how long they will last. to me, this is super excellent already, cos with my old camera, i was changing aa nimh every day!
Hi
I just seen some samples here, dunno who does it belong to
http://www.pbase.com/ghostrider8/root
First impression, noise are really bad using default settings, especially on some potraits shots, face are almost cover with grainy spots
However, i also have seen some photos at pbase from 5050, using sharpness -5, i managed to retrieve the picture and apply my usual process in photoshop using USM, and it definetly turns out alot better with minimum noise
Help this is helpful to you

Hi Hong,
Agreed with u, my picture have some grainy spot. The portrait shot (sitting baby ) is taken immediately after buying it from SITEX. I have notice that the 5050 portrait mode of the 5050 is always very grainy.
Hope to see other 5050 user photo gallery.

have you try turning off the sharpness when taking potrait and process it using USM or edge sharpen in ps?
generally, we try to turn down in camera sharpness to reduce artifacts or grainy spots on the pics, and post process the pic in photoshop to get the ulimate photo 
in photoshop, there is a famous action by fred miranda that enable us to sharpen the edge only instead of the whole pic, in this way, grainy spots on flat surfaces like sky ..etc will not be overblown .. and finally we still can a sharp pic we wanted

Where can I get this action? Is it free? And do we have to change any settings or just apply the action to the pictures?
Are u refering to the FM Intellisharpen for sharpening the photo. Look impressive. But have to pay not free leh.

you can change the setting according to your camera after this it is good to do another round of USM to remove the cast
typical setting for me to remove the haze
radius 20
percentage 15-40%
threshold 2-5
