Neither NiCads nor NiMH are all that suitable for cameras -- if you've
a camera that takes AA batteries, put in good-quality alkaline
batteries.


I couldn't disagree more.

I've had several cameras which take AA cells - all unusable on alkaline
batteries, they just droop far too fast - though there's power left they
can't sustain the peak load.

Cameras will reject alkali batteries when they have loads of charge
left. Only use these in an emergency.

A good set of NiMHs are far superior in every such camera I've tried.
