[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 289445, member: 18251"] Sorry to bring the bad news: the point'n'shoot cameras (including the so-called megazoom models) are characterized (among the other things) by being equipped with relatively low capacity batteries. From what I gathered, the best result in this regard is achieved with the 4 AA battery pacs (of, course, if the specific model supports them) provided that these batteries actually belong with the NiMH type - a few years ago I used to shoot with one of the Fuji's "megazooms" in combination with 4 Eneready 2200 mAh, with which I was able to squeeze out 400+ shots per charge, half of which were taken with the internal flash! But nowadays the producers are not so happy about letting people make their choices in terms of the power supply of their cameras - the photographer is mainly restricted to use the "original" (that is: camera model-specific) batteries which are, except for those made for the upper class DSLR models, capable of "covering" 150-300 shots per one charge... Money makes the World go 'round... [/QUOTE]
