Random thing I found out: Ricoh and Fujifilm batteries

I fished out my Fuji x100t so I could charge it up and happened to eject its battery to see what model number it was, since I still haven't bought additional backup batteries for it (how??). I realized it reminded me of some other camera batteries I had, which ended up being for the Ricoh GXR, an older camera I bought used in June as one of my birthday presents for myself.

How strange! The GXR came out around 2009, while the x100t came out in 2014. And they're from two different manufacturers. Well, I guess maybe there is more overlap in camera batteries than I realized. I just was pretty surprised by this. 😅

Funnily I bought extra batteries for the Ricoh GXR because I thought maybe the one that came with it might be older and not hold as much charge reliably, so I guess I have a little gaggle of batteries I can share between the two cameras. Nifty.
