Okay -- can one use AA lithiums (pl: lithia?) in anything where one
might use AAs? In a flash unit? Thanks.
Yes, if the unit can handle the voltage difference (AA lithiums are 1.25
volt) and different internal resistance. They are distinctly superior in
flash units (As are NiMH's) as the internal resistance difference from
Alkalines means that the flash will recharge twice as fast with Lithium
or NiMH's as compared to Alkalines.

"Don't the Nikon and Canon models take only proprietary rechargeable
batteries? I consider that a fatal flaw"
Adam:
"By default, it's only the proprietary rechargables, but the available
battery grips will also take AA's"
I've never warmed to grips, so for my use the Nikons and Canons are
fatally flawed -- in at least this area.

Yeah, if you don't like grips, that's an issue. But the proprietary
packs are relatively cheap, so buying several is a definite possibility.
