Oddly enough, NiMH last longer than alkalines in digital cameras. Charging
flash is a high demand application. Transmitting on FRS is also a high
current draw. I'm not sure, but NiMH might last longer in walkie talkies.

In any case, a night in the charge stand is cheaper than a set of
replacement alkalines.

Rechargables self discharge, so a walkie kept in the back pack for
occasional camping trips needs alkalines, cause NiMH would be dead by then.

Keep in mind that NiCd and NiMH cells have a lower voltage than alkaline
cells even when they are fully charged, so you start out at a
disadvantage. They will likely need to be recharged far more often than
alkalines would need to be replaced -- and there is a limit to the
number of times they can be recharged.
