Speaking of batteries, since I'm no longer shooting the K-x every day,
I'm not charging the hybrids nearly as often, and I'm finding when I

with at least two different brands.
NiMH have a quick self-discharge. The higher their amperage, the quicker
the self-discharge. So, if you use those batteries almost daily you
won't notice, while a week or more of non use will drain them down.
This is why I switched to Eneloops for my *istD back then, and now just
for the AF-540 FGZ flash, which I use less and less.
Exactly, they are all hybrids, Hybrio, Rayovac hybrid and Eneloops. The
Hybrios used to be the best, they seemed to even outperform the
eneloops. The eneloops are indeed newer than the others.
I was able to pull the most recently charged set out of my AF540, and
that got me through the evening. But the other ones hadn't been charged
more than a month or so ago, and being hybrids should still have held a
charge.
