If we're talking digital still cameras, I use Energizer lithium AAs
and they last ages - I've had the camera 18 months (Olympus Camedia
3000Z) and I've only just started my third set!

Energizer in the UK - £5.99 a pair. From 7dayshop.com (in the Channel
Islands) it's £5.45 for four!



Thanks for all the replies to my original message: I think I'll get a
set of Lithium from 7DayShop (my favourite supplier anyhow) and see
how they go in my Canon A40. As I understand it lithiums 'recover' a
lot better when not in use. If they don't outlast Alkalines by a long
way I'll look for a good NiMh charger. Hopefully the prices of the
good ones will have come down by now.
Recently got one of their hama nimh chargers + 4x 2000mAh cells. Excellent
for digicamera use. Can charge in car too.
