Well, it didn't take long to get the answer on the EZO Power batteries. 
  After charging they sat unused for a couple of days, one in the camera 
the other one out.  This morning I took the camera out and made 24 
shots.  I had set the camera aside for a couple of hours and just 
downloaded the images.  I decided to check the state of the battery 
afterwards and it's already flashing low battery orange on the battery 
icon.  I'm afraid 24 shots/charge isn't going to cut it.  I suspect that 
if I charged it again it would deliver even fewer the next time.

Back to Amazon for the Progos.
