HI everyone.

Ok, here's the fact. I've not used a single AA, AAA or other of that type rechargeable batteries since mayb 6 years now.

The first digital camera I got was using 4 AAs and I wasnt taking that much pictures (you cant take much picture of a 1MP camera on a 4 MB CF card ).

Since that time, I only had camera with their own battery included. I find it convenient by the fact I have the nice little cahrger and the battery(wich is 1 pack).

But because of RFD, I recently got a XBOX (with 4 wireless controller) and a Canon S3IS.

Both of them use AA batteries. Canon S3 IS: 4 AA! cant believe it I have to juggle with 4 littles batteries!
Anyway, i'm here to ask for more informations!

On my shopping list:
TSCC: Panasonic combo pack for 28.99$ on sales (have to wait, yuck)
DirectCanada: Sanyo eneloop.
Costco: sanyo battery deal (no idea of the prices)

Is there really 2 technology different from on and other? What about the energizer I see at wal-mart?

Thanks all!
