Yesterday I attended a friend's wedding.  I took along the D and a couple of
lenses and flash.  I was pretty much in "snap-shooter" mode taking pictures
of my ex-coworkers, friends, the wife, etc. and having a grand old time.

At the beginning of the event I decided to replace an old set of Lithium AAs
for a set of Sunpak rechargeable NiMHs.  I had just charged them so they
were very fresh.

20 frames later (I was using AF, the camera was set for 3sec review and
every few shots I would hit the play button to show someone a goofy picture)
the batteries were dead.

Luckily, one of my wacky friends had a huge pack of AA alkalines in his car.
I put a set in and shot another 70 frames or so during the night.  They are
still in the camera going strong.

What's the deal with the NiMHs?
