Batteries for digital camera???

I, too, have been disappointed with my rechargeable batteries, although I must admit I have gotten a lot better use out of them than you did. But not nearly what I wanted/expected. However, I will reiterate at least part of what Reggie said. Lithium batteries are great! They last a very long time. I know he said they are expensive, but I have found them on sale for not much more than alkaline batteries (4 pack for 9.97). So until you get your charger replaced/exchanged I just thought I would mention that.

The best rechargeables out there are Energiser. I bought some really expensive ones thinking I was getting longer life and such from them, I thought higher cost = better lasting. WRONG! The cheapo Energisers from Cams Club ($19.95 for 4 batteries and the charger) last me a looooong time. Sometimes it can go 1000+ photos and several movies before the Energisers die out.
