Camping Lanterns

Are the solar camping lanterns decent? I was looking at these today, I am wondering how well they hold a charge, they are moderately priced right now.

Not enough info.
Are you packing in or RVing it?

Well I was going to go camping with it. I was looking at ones similar to these. I am just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them.

Solar Power Camping Lanterns

Looking at the title "Low Cost" throws up a red flag for me..... quality is never cheap.
They look like the small solar yard lights Wal Mart sells in the lawn & garden section. We bought a set last year and even thought they do not put out much light they are still working a year later. I use them to light up a dark place in my yard, you can see they are on but almost zero illumination.

How about one of these for camping...

Coleman - Premium Dual Fuel Lantern -

or, if the liquid fuel is not your thing..

Coleman - 8D Retro Family-size Lantern -

I just don't mind paying for quality.
