>>I remember reading that these cameras go through alkaline batteries quickly. The Epson was the only one that listed a rechargable NiMh battery pack as an accessory.<<

I have an Epson 850Z digital camera. It comes with a set of 4 Epson-branded NiMH 1500mAmp rechargable batteries and a fast charger. These batteries are GREAT. I can get about 60 or 70 pictures WITH FLASH before they go kaput. It only takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to recharge them. Then, pop in another set of 4 batts.

Buying NiMH batteries are a MUST for digcams if the camera doesn't ship with rechargables right out of the box. In reality, you must include the price of rechargables and a charger as part of the purchase price of the camera.

A great source for NimH batteries is:

More specifically, I recommend the Quest charger with set of 4 1500mAmp batteries for about $30:
