NiZn Update

.
At my granddaughter's birthday party, I used NiZn batteries in my 580EX II flash directly mounted on the Canon 7D and fired off 270 shots.  All the shots were in a sort of fill flash mode so this really was not a strenuous test of the NiZn batteries or of overheating the 580EX II.  Still, it worked out well.  Sometimes I fired off three or four shots relatively quickly but the flash did not misfire or overheat even though it was a 95 F day and most shots were taken outdoors.  Realistically, NiMh batteries probably would have performed just as well as the NiZn for the fill flash that I was using.  Even so, this was a confidence builder for me.  I recharged the NiZn batteries and put them back into the 580EX II for the next event.
