Panasonic Alkalineplus AA Batteries

I paid $2 for a a package of 4 of these AA batteries for my digital camera.I have gotten a lot more time out of batteries for my digital camera than these batteries.I did not think to read the back of the package of these Alkalineplus batteries which states that these batteries are best for a headphone stereo, flashlight, or tape recorder.I do not like the fact that the I took for granted these batteries would be good for my digital camera and found out otherwise after they were used and gone.Now that I know this I would still be willing purchase these batteries for such things like a flashlight or my mini tape recorder because of the fact that these batteries are affordable.I do trust the Panasonic brand and even though the run time in my camera was not that long I cannot be sure for the other items listed on the packaging.
