I took some standard nimhs (Lenmar Nomem 200mah) out of my charger, my

That could be the problem if "200mah" isn't a typo. <g>


I took back the hybrid nimh batteries and tested them to see their charge
level - they had less charge than the batteries that the camera rejected
immediately! What is the explanation for this?

Your question can't really be answered definatively unless you
describe how you tested the charge levels as well as stating the
results that you got. People in the past have done this using
several different methods, some useful, others not very . . .
