Been using Duracell NiMH, 2650 miliamp rating. Use them in
my mini mag, and digital camera. Problem is.... that if I
don't put fresh ones in my camera every morning, that the
camera either doesn't work, or fails after very few
pictures.

Do Energizer (or some other brand) work better?

It sounds as though there is a problem with the camera and it is draining
the batteries even when it is off. I had a light meter that did the same
thing. Contact the factory about a repair.

Even with the batterie in the bag, not in the camera, you'll have
trouble. Voltage is too low and self discharge is too high - not a
problem with the camera - just a mismatch to the batteries. I only use
rechargeables if I'm shooting a lot of pictures in a short time and I
have the charger close by with a spare set.
