I will add a couple of things on this as I use NiMH batteries fro my digital
camera. First of all you can get much greater storage space than 700 mAh. I
recently bought a set of 4 batteries with 1500 mAh storage, but I have seen 1800
mAh ones for sale also now. I also use the speed charger by PowerHaus and have
been very satisfied with it, so instead of 12 hours to recharge the miserable
little things, it now takes 1-2 hours. A good place to find out more information
on rechargeable batteries and to buy them is http://www.greenbatteries.com
