At 13.49 for a charger a four batteries it doesn't strike me as a big gamble.

Also the 1.6 volts makes a big difference in the number of devices that work with them. Tons of stuff won't work or works poorly with the 1.2v of the eneloops.
Edit: Though as much as I would like to cheerlead the zincs I have to admit they have nowhere near the established track record of the nimh units.
You could get a quick charger for some rechargable battery types that can recharge in 1 hour, but for other types of batteries you're kinda stuck with whatever the manufacturer has provided for charging.
Hopefully sometime in the near future some kind of miniaturized fuel cell technology will be perfected which can hold a charge longer, be recharged faster, and in general be more efficient. Among other things, batteries and chargers both radiate some waste heat which is just wasted energy drifting away.
I just found these 1.6v Nizn I am waiting for them to arrive! My flash and point and shoot will hopefully benefit!
