Anyone out there hav e good site for rechargeable batteries? I just bought a great new camera, except that it goes through batteries like water.
Recommendations for sites or brands?

To keep it simple, I just buy the Energizers @<hidden> SamsClub.
I read alot of reviews for different brands of AA ans AAA rechargeables...
Conclusion, you can save about $5 buying no-names vs. Energizer/Duracell etc. But you will notice a difference in hours of use... along with longevity.
Advice, buy name brand :)

Me too! Both digitals only require AAs.

If you have a Fry's Electronics, Sam's Club or CostCo nearby they have the best prices on rechargeable batteries.

If you have to order online and don't mind paying more then visit Thomas-Distributing.com (http://www.thomas-distributing.com/charger_kits.htm)

At Fry's I saw a 3-in-1 with 2 AA batteries on sale for $7.99:
1) It's a 1 hour recharger which plugs into the wall.
2) A rechargeable flashlight
3) Emergency flashlight.

CostCo has an even better deal, they have a Sanyo recharger with 6 AA and 2 AAA batteries for $20 out the door.

Thanks -- No Costco here in Arkansas (go figure!), but I will try my local Sam's Club.

That would be your best bet, I know they usually have a great deal on rechargeable batteries :gd_purple
