Hi from a new (newbie member).
I am only usually into holiday snap type of photographs but hope to widen my horizons and this is my first ever Nikon model.
I hope you don't mind a very basic question about the types of battery that can be used on the L820. I had already purchased 8 Energizer AA 2400 mAh NimH batteries before I got the camera and so was dismayed to see that only the Nikon rechargeables were listed as suitable in the manual. As 8 of these batteries plus the official charger from Nikon would cost not far short of what I paid for the camera I wondered if anyone has experience of using standard NimH batteries instead of the recommended ones and would there be and danger to the camera.
Thanks in advance for any advice and I hope you don't think my question is too trivial for this forum.
