Hi all--I loooove my Sony Mavica 73! Today I ordered a carrying case for it from Sony, and I nearly fainted when the price quoted for an extra battery (4-hr rechargeable) was $60. Do you know where I can get a 2- or 4-hr rechargeable battery, hopefully for less?
This camera is a huge help for me with ebay sales and is a dream come true. I have however had to get a tabletop tripod to avoid moving the camera when I'm pressing the button. (No big deal!) ~Adele

I looked ALL over for an extra battery - nobody had them. SONY only referred me to the local Comp store. I finally found one at Outpost.com...for guess what? $59.99! Yup.

Make sure you always check NexTag.com for competitive pricing. It will show you a comparison price for the major outlets, what their stocking position is, and what their shipping cost are to your zip code.
Last year, I bought a 4 hour battery for 29.95 + 4.00 shipping, but I don't remember where it was from............

When my camera finally arrived 2 months after the ebay auction closed, my NIB camera had a battery that absolutely would not charge. I drove to WalMart and bought one there. I think I paid around $50, which made my good deal on ebay (even after waiting two months and getting the seller kicked off ebay) not such a good deal.
Not my name on ebay.
