I've had quite bad results with both alkaline and NiMH rechargeables. 
They seem to go flat in a very short time. Days, in some cases.

But when I researched the issue -- some time ago now -- the concensus 
of opinion seemed to be that they should hold their charge quite a 
bit longer than mine were doing. One suggestion was that my charging 
unit -- a relatively cheap unit that I bought at the camera shop 
where I bought my digital Canon camera -- wasn't doing a proper job 
of charging.

I've been meaning to try to find one of the chargers that I've seen 
recommended on some of the digital camera review sites, to see if 
that improves the situation any. But it keeps drifting down near the 
bottom of my "to-do" list. <sigh>
