| I have decided it̢۪s not worth using even the most powerful NiMH AA batteries in my Canon 500EX flash because I still have to change them more than once during a wedding and don̢۪t want to risk missing a shot. Would I be better off going with an external battery or transistor pack such as the CP-E3 or something else? I want to keep E-TTL so a giant manual flash is out of the question. Any tips at all greatly appreciated, thanks! |

| I'm only going off what I've heard, but supposedly you can get disposable lithium AA batts that last much longer then even the best NIMH. Might be worth a check. |

THe 'proper' solution is a battery pack. Many companies make them - quantum is one, al jacobs is the one i'd try first - the best value and he's a real person you can actually talk to (he frequents the FM boards).
You can run just the flash or the flash and camera off a battery - depends on how many cables you want hanging about.
