Some Optio models use AAs. My question is, do *those* Optios like NiMH batteries?
Sorry, misread the question.
I don't think there would be a problem with NiMh batteries, probably the camera will run better with them.
I would check the manual just to be safe though.
Just a quick look over at the pentax website disclosed this:
Quoted from the following webpage: http://www.pentaximaging.com/products/product_specs/digital_camera--Optio_S50/reqID--1008/subsection--optio
'" Power Source - One Lithium battery CR-V3 (allows approximately 420 shots*), or two AA batteries (Lithium, alkaline, nickel and rechargeable Ni-MH), AC adaptor kit (optional)"
This is just the first one I found that uses AA batteries, there might be others....
