Jerome, it's not your rechargables being "cheap" - most of the high-ends are made by same chinese factory as the cheaper ones... GP is a big chinese producer of rechargables. What counts most is the *charger*. Most chargers are "stupid", overcharging the batteries thus diminishing their life, especially cheap built-in chargers like in CD players and mobile phones. Get a good quality, dV, IC driven charger for your NiMH and you will be a very happy person :) Good light, Frantisek Vlcek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
