Sanyo Eneloop and Uniross Hybrio are the way to go. They last a lot longer than standard Ni-MH (twice or more), especially because they have negligible auto-discharge as opposed to extra-quick auto discharge of high-mAh rated NiMH batteries. That's precious if you don't use/recharge your batteries daily or so.
I second (or third) the Sanyo Eneloop recommendation. Dario, thanks for mentioning the Uniross Hybrio--I hadn't heard of those.
I'm getting 800-900 shots from a charged set of 4 Eneloops in my K100D Super. These batteries not only hold their charge better, but they don't suffer from voltage-droop as they discharge. But when they are finally flat, you get very little warning and then the camera shuts off, so buy two full sets and keep the charged spares with you!
Get a "smart charger". This is the kind that only charges the cells until they are measured to be "full" (charge current drops to a trickle). They charge faster and are kinder to the cells. I really like the Ansmann I bought a year and a bit ago.
