I'm interested in getting some accessories for my Sony DSC-T9 digital camera for the trip. Right now I have two 120min batteries and a 2GB memory card. That's about four hours of power and 1300 pics (at the 3MP size I usually use). While that should be plenty, I'd like to get one more battery, a second charger, and possibly another memory card. I don't want to miss anything. And I don't know that I'm going to bother bringing my video camera, which means my T9 will have to double as a camcorder (which means I'll probably want to get a 4GB expansion card).
Yesterday Sandy & I stopped by Best Buy to price the items. They don't stock the charger and have discontinued the battery, though had a couple-three left in stock. I bought a new battery, while I had a chance. It was $49.99, but I had $20 in RewardZone certs so my cost out the door (with tax) was $32.31. They had plenty of the memory cards in stock and there's little chance of those being gone so I'll wait on that.
But last night when I went searching for a charger I found the battery so much cheaper. In fact a site I found, CCS (Calcellular.com), had either for $15.99. For that kind of savings I took the risk of ordering from a "generic" site and ordered one of each. I also got a $4.99 iPod travel charger. The total w/shipping and tax is $46.01. I received an e-mail today that my order has shipped via USPS. I'll let you know when I get it and the quality of the items.
Today I went back to Best Buy and returned the battery I purchased there. Also, I received in the mail the Albany map that Gail sent to me from AAA. But after the other day's research and decisions, I don't think I'll be needing it.
