AA battery life
Just a bit of a rant. :( I have an SLR camera that I use a lot, mostly for documenting restoration of 2 cars I've been working on for a while. I use ordinary AA batteries and not rechargeable one...

Never heard of Sunbeam batteries. Were they cheaper?
I have heard of Sunbeam like most battery companies they make both the old carbon/zinc and the newer alkaline types. The "Super Heavy Duty" ones are the older carbon/zinc and very cheap.
THey are an off brand you get's what you pays for as they say
As for Eveready and Duracell.. There are many variables in how a battery is constructed. Some really do last longer. But without doing a "life span" test (Say how long it runs a specific device).. A motorized timer (Clock) with a incandescent lamp in paralel might be a good test bed) it is very hard to say if the higher priced brands are more or less costly. and I've NOT done that test.
