I rarely use flash. Don't like it at all. However, going on two years ago 
we had some friends over for dinner and eventually got around to taking 
pictures, and I did use the F280 for this with okay results (as flash 
pictures go--again, I don't like them and only use a flash when I 
absolutely have to . . . and _never_ outside for "fill").

Could be, though, that units would fluctuate one to the next with regard to 
recycling. Also, I only use Duracells coppertops and occasionally its 
Energizer equivalent. My experience with AA NiCDs has not been consistently 
happy. (I think the most elegant solution would be to hire a couple of 
grips to walk around filling in with portables as the need arose. Don't 
know what that might cost, though. <g>)

I agree the user needs to know what his particular units does and not rely 
on published factory specs. That's just common sense.
