Thanks for your response! as far as the batteries i've been using are concerned, i generally only use energizer or duracell. mostly energizer because i can pick up a pack of 24 for $10.00. and i've bought energizer batteries that their marketing department would have us believe are better for electronics such as cameras...but i didn't notice any difference when i could get my camera to register the fact that they were new batteries.

okay, a quick edit here on my last post. i'm looking around for rechargable batteries and i've come across a few things i'm unsure of. beyond that, i'm afraid to actually look it up online because i'm always worried i'm being fed a bunch of marketing propaganda, and would rather takes someone's word who has used a product then to listen to what the company or retailer says about the product.

so, i've found a 2700 mAH Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargable battery. i've also notice different values for the mAH such as 1500, 2000 etc. i assume the higher the better? also, is NiMH the way to go? i've also seen Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd), and these seem a little more expensive, so can i assume that means they're better for one reason or another? there's also Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion).
