Here in Canada, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) has a TV show
called "Market Place" where they investigate issues important to
consumers.

One of their shows was about alkaline batteries. They wanted to know
which alkaline batteries were the best, and after a fair bit of
comparison, they found that there was no correlation at all between
battery price and battery quality. Their recommendation was to buy the
least expensive alkaline batteries because there was no indication
whatever that paying more for the batteries would result in batteries
that lasted longer, held their charge better or any of the important
parameters people use to compare alkaline batteries.

Someone in the US tried that with digital cameras. Found
that Costco generic were the best value. They did find
that in digital cameras, lithium AA did last three or four
times longer. Worth the money, if you were at a family thing
taking a LOT of pictures.
