    my digi cam uses 3v lithium batteries and i was wondering if anybody knew if you can get rechargeable ones as i am going through a lot of them and they are expensive. I have looked around but can't find any.

    Cheers. :)

    Can you use some NiMH ones? Try Argos or PC World - that's where I got mine. Seem to last longer than normal alkaline ones in my Sony cam.

    might try and get an ac adapter now. As most of the modding i do for my articles is next to a plug. :)

    Tandy went out of business a little while ago when Carphone Warehouse bought them out, closed them down and developed the existing premises into new shops.

    I don't bother with the LCD screen on my digi cam, I've got a digital SLR so its got proper TTL viewfinder which makes a big difference.
