I like the packaging - it's purrty (pretty) - does that count?

Seriously, the specifications look alright. These are what I use and have had nothing but good performance from them. I suspect, if they are decent quality (if they didn't lie in the specs) you'll do just fine with the Camelion cells.

They are hybrid batteries like the eneloops. I used to be a high amp NiMH user like Art Scott, however these hold a charge very well and I have found that I am getting about as many full power pops with the eneloops as I did with my Duracells 2700 mAh batteries. I have been told that it has something to do with the design being able to handle heat build up better. Supposedly when regular NiMH batteries heat up it speeds up the power disipation. Don't know that it is true. I have been satisfied with the results though.

As my Duracells start to die from age I will continue to replace them with the eneloops.

Plus SANYO has now come out with C & D size eneloops. The D size are 5700 mAh. I am a DIYer for battery packs for my 580's and Sunpack 383's. New battery packs are on my list of things to make now that will hold 8 D cells instead of 8 AA's.
