Oh, there's no question the charger and batteries are better. I'll keep 4 CR-V3s around for emergencies anyway, but much rather have the charger.

The Pentax charger and NiMh batteries I picked up last Saturday were only $25.00 US. This is pretty close to what 2 CR-V3 batteries cost, so it's probably an even swap, but a better deal for you. The charger is kind of slow though, taking 7 hours to charge the 4 NiMh batteries.
