PinarelloOnly, That's very true. Lithiums will give you the best performance hands down. I was only speaking to the rechargeable batteries.

The mah rating of a battery is milliamps per hour at (x) load. It is not how much voltage the battery can output. This whole mah thing really gets blown out of proportion. Yes your Imedions are only 2100 mah and Eneloops are only 2000 mah but, both batteries will put out a higher working voltage for longer than the higher mah rated batteries. These cameras require a higher working voltage than most any other AA powered device. Why do you think so many of us recommend Eneloops or other low self discharge rechargeables? It because they work well. I've been using Eneloops for over a year in my K200D. I never have to worry about battery life or batteries being dead when I want to use my camera.
Long story short. Have faith in the LSD rechagables. They will not let you down. If you do go the LSD route make sure you have a proper charger for LSD batteries. cheap NiMh chargers will not cut it. They will not properly charge the LSD NiMh batteries. You probably have a good charger for your Imedions so you should be ok charging Eneloops with it also. I bought one of my sets of Eneloops with a charger and that's what I use to charge my batteries. I tried using and old NiMh charger I had with my Eneloops and it would not fully charge them. They would die quickly like regular NiMh batteries.
