Shyrell, By all means, get rechargeables. My Canon takes three AA's. I keep an extra set with me. The Rayovac one hour charger for NiMH and NiCads works great. It came with a car cord. I am told that fast-recharging NiMH bats loose their charge over time but NiCads don't. Also, plug in the camera when down-loading insead of wasting bat energy. My Sony uses a tiny, NiMH bat that must be recharged often. I found a cheap supplier for prepriatory bats: http://www.keybattery.com/ AZ Build a Lookaround! The Lookaround Book, 2nd ed.

I know how to turn off the review window (after burning up two sets of batteries already). What kind of batteries do all of you use? Would it be worth it to invest in rechargeable batteries along with a charger? Or should I just get a transformer and trip over the extension cord? > > Thanks. > > Shyrell Melara > > For the Quality You Deserve! > Melara Family Photography > http://shyrellmelara.tripod.com > -- > _______________________________________________ > NEW!
