[AT] Digital camera batteries

[Robert L. Holtzer]

I have NiMhydride batteries from two manufacturers.  Both brands internally 
discharge (?) over a relatively short period of time --  2 -3 
weeks?  Whereas alkaline batteries have a huge shelf life.  It may be 
cheaper in the long run to use the rechargeables -- but if you want to grab 
your camera for a quick picture the non-rechargeables are my choice.
