Camera me Reply #15 – February 13, 2006, 10:36:32 AM Quote from: wcarneySomething no one mentioned is batteries. Most of these cameras do like to eat batteries, so buy something with a common "AA" that you can replace with rechargeable. Proprietory batteries eventually wear out, and are expensive to replace.Most of the smaller point and shoot digitals are AA now anyway. It's usually only the bigger pro digitals you see with dedicated battery packs. My Li-Ion charges fully in a little over an hour, and lasts for a couple of months. Still, that's fairly new. I hope I don't have to buy a backup, because Li-Ion packs are quite pricy. Quote Selected
Camera me Reply #16 – February 13, 2006, 10:43:56 AM If you are not interested in rechargables, the Energizer E2's are absolutely incredible for digital cameras. Lots of experience with them...they can last 6 months or more depending on usage and flash.Another tip: find a camera that uses a standard picture card. I bought an Olympus D-500 a few years ago and it uses a very small, -near proprietary xD picure card that is the successor to a SmartMedia card. Very difficult to find a card reader for it...actually I now just plug it into the computer to download the photos because it's quicker and greatly reduces the chances of screwing up the transfer. But just FYI...a Compact Flash or SmartMedia card is about the standard.Last...http://www.dealcam.com for decent deals on cameras. You can compare from lots of different vendors there, once you settle on a model. That's how I got my camera. Quote Selected
