[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 145781, member: 437"] I have found just the opposite to be true on the rechargeable batteries. I can get a lot more pics out of a set of good alkaline batteries than I can my rechargeables. (I took over 300 pics last year at Disney before needing to replace them on a set of Duracells that had been in the camera for nearly 2 months already. :shock: ) The rechargeables lose their charge at such a rapid rate if you aren't using them, that they have to be constantly monitored/charged to be of any use when you get ready to use the camera. That may not be a big deal for someone that uses their camera and batteries a whole lot but for those of us that don't, it tends to be an issue. The cameras with the "built in" rechargeables are a lot like a cell phone. You need some electricity onhand or you are out of luck when your battery goes down. I can pack extra AA's with me or pick them up pretty much anywhere in a pinch. I guess it all boils down to your individual wants, needs and situation. [/QUOTE]
