Still the best point and shoot ever made, for my purposes....

Re: Still the best point and shoot ever made, for my purposes....

To each his own, I guess .... I know there is some demand for cameras that use AA batteries, but I have sworn I will never, ever go back to them. The rechargeables in my canons (G9 [sister to the A650], S100, 300HS) usually last all dang day and I bought backups for about $15. They never die and I can count on them holding a charge for months without use. Plus, they recharge the flash soooo much quicker then AA's ever did.

I used to charge up 16 or 20 AA batteries to take out with me for the day and have to switch them constantly to make it to the end of the day. What a pain.

Have you ever tried a newer camera with a rechargeable LiOn battery? They rock and, in my experience, last much much longer than AA's.

Awesome fish, by the way!
