Hi, I need more advice. Alkaline, Nickel metal hydride, or LiIon rechargeable CR V3 compatible?
NiMh are probably the cheapest way to go. The initial invenstment is quite high, as you need a charger designed for them, but then you are done until the batteries go flakey. Alkaline batteries have a pretty short life expectancy, and I am not certain that CR-V3 rechargables are recommended, I'd have to check the owners manual on that one.
I used NiMH batteries until this spring, when I tired of the maintenance, and switched to CR-V3 (non rechargable Lithiums). I don't think I'll go back. I've had the same set of batteries in the camera since June, with a thousand or so pictures taken, and they seem to be still going strong.
