Batteries
I'm throwing this question in here because my DSLR (Samsung GX-1s) is a clone of one of the Pentax DSLR's, so i'm hoping this subject is one familiar with someone browsing through this section of the site.
My camera takes standard AA batteries which is good in a sense because I can always go out and pick some up if need be. Unfortuantely, last night i went through my last set of 4 and didn't realize it till i tried to transfer my photos to my computer. so, my question is two fold. First and foremost, is there any recommendations as far as rechargeable AA sized batteries? i believe at some point i had read that some people opt for the rechargeables over standard for one reason or another, but am unsure where to go to get them and what to go with. the other question i have, is if there's any recommendation for media card readers instead of using up the juice on my batteries when transferring pics? a simple SD card reader would be fine, but maybe i ought to get an all in one reader that just plugs into my computer's usb port?
last question. There have been times where i'd insert 4 fresh AA batteries into my camera, and the camera won't turn on. this happens more often then not, and i can't imagine that i just keep coming across bad sets of batteries.
any help would be truely appreciated. Thanks!
