Default Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)

<a href="http://www.thomas-distributing.com">Click here</a> for a place that sells very highquality NiMH batteries.

Also try Sunn Battery at <a href="http://www.sunnbattery.com">this link</a>

Nexcells are great. Soo are Sanyo batteries, and MAHA batteries.

The higher mAH rating, the longer it will last w/o needing to be recharged.

Get the MAFA POWEREX MH-C204F charger.

Default You MUST get nickle metal hydride!! They last ~100 pic...

I have used many digital cameras, and any alkaline battery SUCKS. They all last ~20-30 pictures. You can order any number of high-capacity ~1400Mah nickle metal hydride batteries inexpensively. I would even get 2-sets, one to stay in the charger and one in the camera.
Here is a link to an excellent battery supplier, ask their opinions...<ul><li><a href="http://thomas-distributing.com/batteries.htm">http://thomas-distributing.com/batteries.htm</a</li></ul>

Default Check out this guy... he's got the industrial Sanyos rated at 1600mAh...

I've got two sets for my camera plus the rapid charger that I bought from this guy. Delivery was fast and the batts work great.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ripvan100.com">RipVan100</a></li></ul>

Default Not in my experience... Everyready's completely suck ***...

They'll run out at least twice as fast as a set of duracells... NiMH is where it's at though.

Default Yup, me too...for my Nikon 990! Amazing battery life.

Standard alkalines get me about 25 shots w/flash. These Sanyo's will get me well over 100 w/flash!!
