Hi All

Β 

Merry Xmas to you all.

Β 

Got me X170 Action Camera, and I need to get recharegable batteries for it, and an SD card.

Β 

I see in Argos they have energizer lithium batteries, but they are NOT lithium ION batteries. - Are these one and the same?

Β 

Also... they have all these special/expensive new 8gb SD cards that are meant for HD recording. Do I need this kind of card or will bog standard do.

Β 

Brush off those hang overs.. with a vodka/red bull (usually works) and I shall hear from you soon.

As far as I know 8gb is 8gb, you can't have a better 8gb than another. I'm guessing its just branding, using "HD" to get an extra few quid of you.

Β 

Don't know much about batteries though!

not so, theres a huge difference in how quickly sd cards process information......the speed a digital camera takes photos at can be dependant on how good the card is apparently

Β 

Think your right Steve

Really? I can't see how, its just storage space there is no "processing" going on, thats all done in the camera?

Β 

I'm not sure I know anything, so I'll happily be wrong. But the headcam in question is not HD or anywhere near it, so I doubt the card would make any difference.

Β 

Personally though I still think its all a con. Like when they try and sell you better cables for digital hi-fi stuff. digital is digital it either works or it doesn't you can't have a better or worse digital signal. But thats cables its a different thing, but similar.

For batteries look on the channel 5 Gadget show web site, they did a good review on rechargeable batteries.

Β

It must be the transfer rate, or summit like that. Sounds like a con. It definitely ain't the hd/digital side of things
