I am a pro photographer just converting to digital. I am starting with a Nikon Coolpix 990 and have purchased all the accessories except a battery pack. I would like to know where I can buy the best and most powerful hip/fanny/pocket or? pack. Also is there a way to upload pix to a Iomega Jaz or Zip or similar drive?

Thanks,

Roland--first read the 'Digital camera batteries' article on www.dansdata.com, including the 2 links to www.repairfaq.org, if you want to know the facts about cells, batteries, and charging/chargers.

You seem to be a candidate for the heavy-duty, low-$ pack that Dan built. I, too, built one but just got it together so I do not yet have experience with it, but it works, and I'll see!
