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 rechargeables

However with a spare set you have 8- AAs and a somewhat bulkier charger.  They are cheaper and easier to come by but all considered for travel I do find the li-ion preferable.  I have lived with both types and still have one camera using  4/AAs.
