If you'd read what I posted, you'd recall that in at least the
case of the cheap batteries I mentioned, they were not inaccurate in their
rating. The "mAH" ratings were correct... but at too low a voltage to be
considered "non-dead" by the camera. A nice stiff supply (i.e. low
internal impedance) is what's required... probably moreso than current
longevity.
