Thanks! I used to work in a camera store back around the turn of the millenium in a period when people would come up and ask for the tradeoffs between digital and film. I didn't like AA cameras at the time because they'd consume lots of them, but you make a good point about their afterlife and of course NI-MH are a lot better now too. I was afraid your recommendation would trigger me to acquire yet another camera, and it looks like it will lol. Kind of crazy how good they are compared to when I was selling them, and how those very good ones are already just about ready for the trash heap.
