I was thinking the dual recharging scenario might work if the auto-recharge feature was really slow (ie 3 days to recharge). At least you could manually recharge the batteries once in a while (ie at night in the hotel room). Yah, having more batteries would be the logical answer.

In most cases where you are taking lots of pictures (at least in my case) there is no option to manually charge. It's not like you're walking through the zoo/themepark/playground/flower garden . . . with a huge extension cord and your charger plugged in the wall. If I was that concerned about high capacity batteries (IE, more than just taking 2 full capacity battery sets with me, either 2 Li-Ion packs for your camera or 2 sets of AA's if your camera takes those) then I would probably just use a product like this (or build your own in a fanny-pack): http://www.samys.com/product_detail.php?item=10679 Well, there’s the trouble.

What about a battery that self-charges AND can be manually recharged? The self-charge feature would probably meet most of your charging needs and the manual charger would take care of the times you take a ton of pics.

Which would you rather have, a larger higher capacity battery, or a self charging battery? Lets say the difference is a 2000mah battery that takes 200 pictures and self charges, or a 3000mah battery that takes 300 pictures and doesn't . . . I suppose it depends on how quickly you take the pictures. Plus, will the lower capacity be more expensive to have the charging circuitry built in? I've read a bunch on different wireless power solutions. It seems, like camera lenses, there is always a trade off and no one is perfect in all scenarios.

I read on Yahoo that one of the cell phone companies -- Nokia, maybe? -- is 3-5 years away from commercial availability of such a technology. Harnessing electromagnetic energy that's just flying around all the time, and using it to charge the cell phone batteries. Not enough energy to run a light bulb, but if it means never having to change the batteries on my camera or phone, it's good enough for me! So did Tesla!

My first digital camera was about $500 ... 1.3 megapixels, I think, pre-USB, and it took a ton of batteries. Five years later I spent about the same and got one with a bigger screen, video, better battery life, etc. etc. Now that camera can be had for about $150. When I get around to upgrading again, I'm sure I'll get HD video, autowhatsits up the yinyang, and it'll recharge itself by absorbing stray radio waves.
