Re: Battery bias?

if you like spending money and spending money then get one that takes AA's otherwise a spare and the OE battery do just fine. I have a fuji that uses AA's and i hate it becasue of that. my pentax and panasonic and cannon all use proprietery Li-ion and they do great just a few cents to charge.

i also tried the ni metal hydride rechargeable types and they didnt work so good because of the lower voltage 1.2 each vs 1.5 each.

Unless you have a camera that is voltage critical... had Canon 560 that was that way, but not the 720is... that is pure nonsese.

Rechargeables keep that 1.25 volts there enntire life until just before death... alkalines and other normal batteries start at 1.5 for a SHORT time and go well below 1.25 inshort order... and again a cam that is overly vlotage sensitive you are going to run into the same problems.

Its not the batteries its the hardware design.

But also have a Canon SX-100 (also 720is before) that uses AA's... very good liftime with NiMH 2500mah NiMH... and not a big deal to carry an extra pair in back pocket...rarely used but for letting things go for days..... worst come to worst... alkalines fromt the corner drug store... not an option with proprietary. Unless alot of FLASH, almost never went through a set in a day.

well my AA cameras both of them were apparently picky but it has been MY actual experience that proprietary batteries work just fine better so far than rechargeable batteries.
