With the low self-discharge I can charge the Eneloops, pop them into the camera and then forget about them until the low-batt indicator appears.

I never worry at all about whether I charged up batteries the night before.
That's precisely their benefit. None of this "oh, wait, leave 'em in the trickle-charger so they're ready to go" nonsense which other batteries require.
Instead: charge 'em and throw them in the bag. Leave the bag in the hallway for one or two weeks: it doesn't matter. Pick up bag, start shooting: No problem.
At $11.99 for a set of 4, well worth the dough. Regardless of chemistry. Could be stuffed with rat poop for all I care, it just doesn't matter to me.
