Yea same problem here. I've been using a couple sets of Energizer NiMHs for a year on K100D without problems. Bought a set of Sony CycleEnergy Precharged one day when I was caught without a spare set.

When I upgraded to K200D, The Sonys seemed to be the only set 'holding' their charge. My energizers show like half or empty even having been recharged recently. Its only been recent but I added a set of RayOVac Hybrids and 2 of Eneloops. Seems the K200D only likes the LSD type NiMHs.

(Energizer's selling some new NiMHs...2450mAH ones that boast 40% more charge retention over the 2500mAHs that sold in 2005 according to the packaging...I wonder how those will work out.)
