Very true Kris.
I have two digital Kodaks that according to the manual need rechargeables that
are rated 2000mAh or better but I find I need to use 2200mAh or better to make
them work properly - they refuse to recognise any form of alkalines.
I ended up buyng a bunch of 2500mAh and they work like a charm.
