Thanks Rob

I think I'll have to look seriously at these.

They are still Ni-HM chemistry so any charger capable of managing
Ni-HM batteries will do, though to optimize performance you're best
off using a charger that charges each cell independently rather than
in sets of two or four.

Quick question

Do Eneloops require a special charger of can they be charged on a standard NiMH 
charger?

Damnit - I have just spent more money that I didn't really need to!

Seriously though, these sound like they will be the perfect answer for
my flash and also for the istD now that it will be dormant as a backup
body assuming the K10 takes over now it is on the scene.

They are far from cheap in the UK...!

I've been running them in my DS since mid November.  It's a delight  
to just pick up the DS and use it (especially after letting it sit  
for a week - poor camera!) without having to think about whether or  
not there is a charge left in there.

I just picked up another set to put into my Sunpak flash.  Soon I'll  
get a 3rd set for my Sigma Flash and I'll be quite satisfied.

I've been running them in my DS since mid November.  It's a delight  
to just pick up the DS and use it (especially after letting it sit  
for a week - poor camera!) without having to think about whether or  
not there is a charge left in there.

I just picked up another set to put into my Sunpak flash.  Soon I'll  
get a 3rd set for my Sigma Flash and I'll be quite satisfied.
