there was thread here about battery life, and some of the new technology
wrt digital cameras (eating AA Alkalines). i got suckered into buying
another camera, and guess what, it really EATS AA'a, changing batteries
would be a full time job.

the previous owner said he used 1600mah NMiH rechargeables and got
50-60 shots, some w/flash, some without the lcd on, but was generally
happy.

Question: before i even think about buying into an expensive set up
for only occaisional use, i need to know what is the actual capacity of
the current crop of AA Alkaline battery. googling now, but find nothing
beyond suggested uses on manufacturers sites.

Thanks! --Loren
