The Eneloops are there really a revolution! Due to the low self-discharge to be usable even in devices where battery had previously made no sense, for example in remote controls.
One must not be fooled by the low capacity at the Eneloops. In my camera they last significantly longer than conventional 2600 mAh batteries. This is because the Eneloops the voltage last longer constant as a normal battery, read: The camera turns off until later because the cut-off threshold (ie, the voltage at which says the camera electronics: "Low Battery") is only reached later.
I buy in the area of battery / batteries anything else!
