Jian, I'm sorry to say, but your conclusion does not make sence. The MB-10 is 'nothing more' than an alternative battery holder which connects to the same battery terminals and uses the same amount of cells as the main battery (plus the vertical shutter, of course). [Jian Luo] Ilkka, Theoretically you're totally correct. But how about practice? Have you ever tried the MB10 with 'normal' AA batteries? Or you can also find many complaints from the archives of this mailing list: just search for the 'magic' word "MB10" and then you know what I meant. I still can easily "reproduce" the mentioned problem on my N90s easily!!! I really don't know what, if there is any, electronics exists inside the the MB10 (don't forget the extra shutter release button...). You are right that the F90X needs good quality batteries, are they located in the camera body or in the MB-10. I have had no problems with or without the MB-10 while using good Varta batteries in both cases. [Jian Luo] You are lucky! I should have used better batteries from the beginning. Then I wouldn't have noticed the problem at all.
