I have a Kodak Z700 and it eats thru batteries... I am not talking about the disposable kind. I have "Kodak Rechargeable Digital Camera Batteries 2100mAh" Ni-MH AA HR6 1.2V I fully charge these on the charger and when I put them in it is only a short while before I get the low battery indicator on my LCD screen. The camera does not shut down immediately, but that low battery signal will stay on. This drives me crazy because I thought these batteries were specifically for digital cameras! I want to know which kind of rechargeables last the longest so I don't go out and buy a whole new set with charger and get the same problem. I use Maha Powerex 2700 mah Nimh in my Canon a 700. I get 250+shots using the LCD screen all the time and the flash part time. I use the Powerex MH-C204W worldwide charger. Available at
