[AT] Digital camera batteries

[Steve W.]

The big thing to watch for in a rechargeable battery is its capacity in
mAh (mili amp hours) most of the newer NiMH batteries are pretty good.
Usually around 2200-2400 mAh are real good. In my new Fuji 5000 they
will shoot well over 500 pictures without a problem. I picked up my
newest ones from Wal~mart for about 15.00 for a set of 4 plus charger.
Plus another set of 4 Energizers (2300mAh) for 12.00

If you choose to buy Lithium Ion batteries make SURE your camera can use
them, Some cannot, so check the manual or web for info.
