Good test on battery life but in the overall comparison I've got a bit of a problem, it's fine for anyone paying a std (inflated) high street price, but who on here is paying 4 quid for 4 AA duracell+ ????

I get 36 from costco for just over a tenner (less than £1.20 for 4)!

Now OK not everyone can do this but many stores would do better than four quid for four
