"Sanyo Eneloop AA Batteries "

Pros:
May be only 2000 mah but they leave other brand 2700's behind in performance.
They have long gutsy staying power.
Sanyo have made my Canon look good !
Pricing is good.

Cons:
None experienced so far.
Sanyo have excelled my expectations with their new battery range. No I do not work for Sanyo. In April of this year I was off to the Jungles of Cambodia and contemplated selling my Canon S21S as I considered it too large for the trip. I originally chose the S21S purely so I could recharge its 4 x AA's and/or purchase alkaline replacements easily if needed. My Canon was always shutting itself down and lo battery was a message that was making me think there was an issue with the camera rather than poor rechargeable In my search for a smaller camera I came across the eneloop batteries and decided I would lose money on my, then $700 camera to sell it, so my last ditch decision was to grab 8 eneloop AA's and a charger. After three weeks in Cambodia and numerous photos and movies, I charged them once as I was going to a remote area and wanted to be sure of a full charge not really knowing if they really needed to be charged or not. It is now the end of July and I still have no lo battery warning on the camera, and it just keeps going and going. The eneloop batteries are the best I have experienced without doubt.

A powerful and capable suite with some excellent features, although it isn’t the easiest to use, nor the cheapest around.

See why this relatively unknown, but simple, efficient and affordable package holds its own against the likes of AVG, Norton, Kaspersky and McAfee.

We've been impressed with Norton 360 - security for those who want something simple but effective. We're also impressed with the changes in Norton Internet Security 2009. So how does Norton 360 version 3.0 stack up?
