My partner uses a Panasonic TZ3 Compact (a great little camera) running on a pair of Li-ion cells and it wasn't long before I envied the Li-Ion Cell performance over the NiMH cells.

That is until I bought a set of Eneloop cells.

They have been a revelation in performance! I have now supplemented them with a set of Duracell Active Charge (similar claims)

I have yet to try them but for all those standard NiMH cell users out there - Your frustrations have been addressed!

These latest cells are much better both it terms of shots per charge and charge retention that i can't recommend them strongly enough!

Cheers MZ

I'm glad that you finally found the solution.

Oddly enough, that's the same solution I found for my *istD 2 years ago when a set of 4 cost about £25. They are considerably cheaper now.

I don't have any AA powered cameras any more but Sanyo Eneloops are in all of my flashes and anything else that uses AA or AAA batteries.

Same here. Its reassuring that i can leave my camera fof a while and know it will work when next used. Have 12 now to replace my energiser and fuji rechargeables. Found that thd energiser ones etc lose charge wat too quickly.

I bought my first set of Eneloops last week because of more tales like this
