I bought two more batteries for my K10D for $10 each (Konica-Minolta from B&H). It will take me a while to burn through three batteries. I'm not sure about the AAs... alkalines don't work properly (high internal resistance, low capacity), so you're still talking rechargeables, right? Where is the advantage?

I should also mention the K10D's charger operates from 100-240 VAC, at 50-60 Hz, so it works in most countries. And keeping matched sets of NiMHs is also a thing of the past with the K10D.
