Have been on my wish list for quite some time. Bought the C9000 package and was immediately grateful. Fast shipping meant fast delivery. Really put my batteries to the test when I travelled abroad. 1st set of batteries lasted 29 of my 30 day visit and delivering hundreds of photographs. Didn't need the charger when 2 sets of charged batteries were on hand. Too bad I didn't know that beforehand because I could have used the additional room in my carry-on luggage. ;-)
