Makes you wonder - most of the circuits in one of these things can be made to function happily at less than 2v but fail at >4v. We got a camera recently and if you lie to it about what batteries its got it runs quite well on rechargeables. Your phone will work when nearly flat, and take pictures etc but not a functionally identical camera....On 26/01/11 10:04, tom wrote:There does seem to be some conspiracy between manufactures and battery manufacturers. I have sever bits of junk that dont run well on rechargeables though there is no reason why they cant make them run on the lower voltages at no extra cost. Tom te tom te tomI used to use re-chargeables in my camera but gave up because they did not last any time at all. Recently I have gone over to Lithium batteries which are dearer but seem to last far longer then ordinary, non chargeable ones even.Neil
