I have been told by folks who work
at local camera stores as well as a
photo journalist friend not to use
ni-cad batteries!!  Main reason being
the voltage is lower that alkalines.
Does anyone out there have opinions?
Seems to me that using ni-cads would 
slow down the movie camera speed of
motor drives we have now days!!  I guess
it is also supposed to be bad for electronic
contacts and such in cameras.  As for my
photo journalist friend, I had a long talk
with him when the big auto focus discussion
was going on.  Don't try use your auto focus
on a stealth fighter, it won't work!!  I know
if some RR execs knew this they would begin
ordering locomotives with carbodies made
out of the same stuff!!!
