I've noticed that the Fujishop have not stocked the NP-50 batteries for the past few months
This makes me a bit paranoid that those cameras that use them (X10 for example) may become unusable before their allotted time frame / design life
OK there are plenty of aftermarket versions around now but what of the future?
This very problem happened to me before with my first Canon & the camera is unusable so my experience has taught me to be wary
With this in mind I've just ordered 2 extra spare batteries I can use or mothball to extend usability a little - perhaps 2 may not be enough
