 its a battery August 21, 2006
28 out of 28 found this review helpful
The new Nikon EN-EL3e battery is a slight update for the Nikon EN-EL3 provided with earlier dSLR models such as the D70. It adds a contact that allows new cameras to determine how much charge is left in the battery. The battery is grey to distinguish it from the black EN-EL3.
The EN-EL3e is backwards compatible with the EN-EL3: you can put it in your D70 or D50. The reverse is not true.
The number of pictures that the battery gives you depends on a lot of factors, including shooting style, LCD usage, and of course, camera. (The 2.5" LCD on the D200 will use up the battery much quicker than the smaller D70.) It is sufficient for a day of shooting. Unless you are using a D200 in some professional capacity, in which case, you'll probably be investing in at least one backup battery.
 Requires multiple charges to reach full charge August 18, 2006

Requires about 5 or 6 charges to reach full charge. Because of many power requiring features on the D200, a new battery will completely discharge after 40 frames during on-off shooting. The charger that comes with the D200 only charges for 2.35 hrs, which, as I discovered, cannot fully charge a new battery. I need several additional batteries and the MD200 battery pack to enable long battery life.
 Hard to get battery August 14, 2006

This is the real thing. It seems to be impossible to get anywhere and I got it overnight from Amazon. Wow.
If you own a Nikon DSLR get this battery. August 13, 2006

This battery is backwards compatible with the D50, D70/70s, and is used in the D80 and D200. So if you have any Nikon DSLR and want a second battery, you want to get this one so that when you upgrade your camera you can use the battery.
This battery has built-in circuitry that tells you the actual charge status of the battery, and it is accurate. This is a big deal; *if you are using the D200 or D80* it lets you know when your really do need to switch batteries or charge up. This is the first battery I've seen that is accurate in this regard. Kudos to Nikon. (This feature does not work in the D50/70/70s but the battery otherwise works fine).
It's Just a Battery August 4, 2006

I don't think a battery really requires a review, but a comment regarding D70 vs. D200 might be in order. In over two years of using my D70, I never felt the need for a second battery. After just a month with the D200, I'm ordering a spare battery (too bad the D70's battery can't be used in the D200).
I'm not complaining. I now have VR lenses, and spend more time using the D200's menus, and reviewing pics on its large LCD screen. You can even watch your battery drain with the new 'battery info' screen, which does give you a better idea of how much juice you have left in a charge. I just no longer feel safe going out without a fully charged battery like I did with the D70 for a day's shooting.
It's just a necessary expense, like buying a bigger flash card. I guess by buying an 4GB Ultra II instead of an Extreme III (or the new IV), paid for the battery.
