    get a panasonic camera if you don't want to get into the glory details of cameras, their iA button works better than other brands and that eliminates your need to switch almost anything.

    Any updates?

    I am really curious about the battery life on the mice?

    No sorry, I have been laxed & lazed, and had things going on.... :eek: :(

    I can tell you that the battery life on this mouse is fantastic..I have been using it for well over a month now..and it is holding up just as it should!!

    My laptop's GPU failed on me recently resulting in the innards being nearly entirely replaced...and no usage of my laptop for several days. When I was *up and running again* The BT on my lappy, and the BT on my mouse were working as if the lappy was always *on*. That, I thought was pretty awesome. I have had other BT mice, where in normal *usage* sometimes, I have had to *resync* the BT to each other. :eek:

    The *hyperscrolling* on the mouse is just awesome as stated in the specs.. I really like it! :) Quick..quick! The web scrolling is superbly fast..You will really like the metal scroll wheel...

    The mouse feels good in my hand..it's nicely *weighted* that is how I can say it. It's not *heavy* it just feels *right*. I feel like I can power the mouse the way that *I* want.

    More to come.... :)

    if using this mouse we need to turn on bluetooth all the time for the lappy right? in that case, will it cause the lappy to have a shorter battery lifespan? what's the impact on the battery life per charge?

    Thanks Cin! by the way I've found a video review which is in Japanese :) It shows how this thing can scroll in hyperscrolling mode. Unfortunately I don't understand it. :( So I probably should learn Japanese!

    Here's the video:

    Yes, I'm interested in this as well, especially with the current generation of Bluetooth and wireless mice. I'd be interested in knowing how each of these affect laptop battery life (internal Bluetooth constantly on, compared to using Wireless USB).

    I can't seem to find much regarding this on other sites or forums. I'm not sure why.

    Please let me know if you find out anything.

    Thanks!

    I haven't noticed any difference in my battery life using this Mouse constantly with the internal BT on 24/7 and the external BT Mouse on 24/7.

    The battery appears to be working as it should. But then again, I'm on my AC nearly all the time, and I don't look for these minute types of things..unless I specifically need to. If it's not inherently affecting my lappy' there is no reason to! ;)

    Thanks for your comments Cin.

    I'm only concerned about the effect on laptop battery life, because I use battery power about 80% of the time.

    I'm glad to hear that you haven't noticed any difference though.

    Thanks!
