It costs significantly less, but it does require you fill it with 4 or 8 AA batteries, but I already have plenty of AA Eneloops, so there was really no added cost for me.

Apr 23, 2012 19:00 | #5 Can the Pixel recharge the batteries without removing them from the case? I didn't know about it before biting off on the iShoot, but I like the idea of a rechargeable case I can have plugged in during shoots.

If you need much more pops then there is always industry standard Quantum Turbo to go for next 10 yrs. Fuji XT-1, 18-55mm

Apr 23, 2012 19:04 | #7 I don't think it's a faster recycle rate, honestly. I haven't timed it yet, though. I really hate carrying around a bunch of extra batteries when I can help it.

Even after the cost of rechargeable batteries, it's still cheaper.
