Well, since then, I've found that the Rayovac NiMH (Nickle Metal Hydride)
rechargable batteries [4] seem to work wonders in the camera as I can get
hours, nay, days, of use out of these batteries in the digital camera. I had
attempted to use the Rayovac Alkaline rechargable batteries [5] in the camera
(since I found they work great for the Newton I have) but they lasted all of
maybe five seconds, if that.

But the NiMH ones work beautifully, and I can use the same recharger for both
these and the Alkalines.
