I bought a new watch!

It's good practice to take the battery out now and again to check for pillowing. I've had SEVERAL 3rd party ones doing this so I am hesitant to charge them in the camera.

I have an old Neewer charger back when I bought the XT1 so like a decade ago, granted that charges only 1 at a time. but I prefer the built in charging ones these days since I can charge it directly with just a cable. I always travel with a USB-C cable, or they are everywhere, but it's not...

I only burst at 5fps on my X100VI, 8fps on my Sony (it can do 10fps). Any faster I end up with too many photos and doesn't add or solve anything for what I shoot.
