I was under the impression that cameras with AA batteries were a pain in the rear because you go through sooooo many batteries. True or not??
I use rechargeable batteries and I don't have any problems. I have two sets so it's easy to rotate them. I usually keep one in the camera and the other set in my camera bag so if they stop working I can just change them. Then when I get home I stick the set I took out back in the charger and let them charge.
