What are you guys using? I can't afford lithium batteries every time I use my cam so I bought 6 rechargeable nimh batteries and a charger. And I'm going to rotate the batteries whenever they run out. I'm thinking of taping a hand warmer or something on the back of my cam to keep the batteries warm too. Any tips on how to get the most out of your battery life?

I don't think your memory card is full...?
Or, at least that doesn't make sense. I definitely had upwards of 40 minutes on mine from yesterday

i' still have to see the first li-ion AA or AAA batteries...

i think you'll have to settle with NiMh or plain old alkaline in the mean time....
