Lithium AA is the most foolproof way to go. You'll get about 1000 exposures
from a set, almost the save as CR V3, and they're quite a bit more
affordable. Many of us have experienced problems with rechargeables. Alkaline
are only for emergency use. Too short a life, and (apparently) too much
voltage fluctuation as they drain.

Primary batteries are best avoided for anything other than

Getting a *GOOD* NiMH charger cannot be stressed enough. Buy good batts
and a crappy charger and you'll get crappy results due to uneven
charging/discharging. Individual charging circuits are a must.
I have been very happy with my LaCrosse BC-900 charger. Provides
a geek like me with plenty of information on my cells' health.
