Congrats! Yeah, my camera battery takes a whole night to recharge and the battery gets exhausted every week..=/ You should be able to find some good tutorials on the net. Also get a tripod - I still need to buy one myself though.

Noor - A Rebel XT's batteries shouldn’t take all night to charge? You can also pick up high capacity batteries that tend to perform better. The optional battery grip will also make the relatively small XT body easier to handle and allow you to double your battery capacity at the same time.

I have a Nikon Coolpix 3200 with rechargeable Duracell AA batteries - they're supposed to be of pretty good quality. I think they take around 6-7 hours to recharge

Congratulation Nigel, they are a real good bit of gear.

Noor, there must be something wrong. Ours charge in less than an hour.

Really? Next time my battery gets exhausted, I'll recharge it during the day and see exactly how long it takes.

Not all double a batteries are the same as far as i know. I believe you can buy different chargers that take different amounts of time so there might not be anything wrong.

No one wanted to pay to say something in my sig, so i will have to try and think of something creative now...

Yeah, that could be it. Not sure what kind of charger mine is and too comfy and lazy to check right now...Thanks. =)

Wow, looks like I've hijacked this thread beautifully! *points gun* Take this thread to the Bahamas!

It's better to let me borrow it before you figure it out .. that way you won't know what you're missing .. and If I screw it up you won't know it wasn't that way to begin with

see? .. it's a win-win situation .. bountiful bling for me .. and .. ignorant bliss for you
