I second (or third) the Sanyo Eneloop recommendation. Dario, thanks for
mentioning the Uniross Hybrio--I hadn't heard of those.
Hybrios are far more diffused here in Italy than Eneloops, due to better
distribution. However, the Hybrios could be just rebadged Eneloops.
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.
I no longer use the *istD. A friend of mine shooting the *istDS tells me
they last 500-600 shots compared to 250-300 pictures allowed by best
conventional NiMH types.
I use the Eneloops on my AF540FGZ, and it lasts forever. I'm unable to count
the number of flashes it can produce with a set, but sure about twice as
much compared to conventional NiMH batteries.
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!
That doesn't happen with a flash unit. Just change the set when you have the
feeling that recycle time has become noticeably longer then usual.
Ciao,
Dario
