It takes AA batteries too!

I don't like AA batteries because I find them much heavier to carry around than a lithium camera battery.

Please Olga!

4 AA weigh 3.6 oz.

2 lithium for my G16 2.8 oz.

You are so burdened by less than an ounce??

I much prefer AAs for a camera. It was much less expensive when that's what most cameras used for power. And you can still get AAs rechargeable.

I much prefer lithium-ion.  Whether using AA or li-ion, I always have at least one spare.  The difference with li-ion is that I only need one spare rather than 2 or 4 AA.  The charger for my li-ion is smaller than a charger for a set of 4 AA batteries.
