If you want rechargables that STAY charged, the only ones I have found
are 'Eneloop' by Sanyo - your digital camera will work when you turn
it on after 4 months of non-use. Available at 'The Source' and Costco
(they have a couple of specials)
They are Ni-Mh - and you can use a standard charger a kit of 6
batteries and charger is $32 approx at Costco.
