Ok this was a very informal test, I got 4 radio shack
1600 mha nimh AA batteries and brand new kodak
photolife batteries, put them in the AF330 and tried
it, recharge time was 5-6 sec and I fired 200 test
shots with no drop in recharge time at full power ( MH
manual mode ) then put the photo life
to get a
better refresh rate for a while,maybe 10-12 sec.

I'm guessing they would be better than nicads but the
real draw back of the nimh is when they die they just
die, not like alkalines where they gradually drain
away these won't power the flash at all once drained
and there is no warning. I'd say borrow them and see.

Achiever flash went thru 12 batteries in one night I
found these niffty rayovac nimh batteries at radio
shack, if all goes well I think I may have bought my
last set of batteries :). ( opps except
is a small price
to pay for reliable flash power that recycles very quickly, too.
