::I have a German brand, Concord 5345z (5 Megapixels), which comes with a recharger for it's two rechargeable AA Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. I would call it a battery hog, yes, as the two batteries only last about a day if you are taking pics constantly. However, as long as I remember to recharge them every night, a one day charge seems workable. One bad side, though, is that uploading the pics to my laptop also depletes the charge. I've learned not to dawdle when doing so. I used to upload one pic, then edit it, then do the next, etc., which ran my batteries down. If I just upload them all at once, then turn off my camera and recharge the batteries while I edit the pics, it works out much better. [[User:StuRat|StuRat]] 22:37, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
:I don't know if power consumption has changed, but the major factor here is the display. A bigger one will (I assume) consume more power, but more importantly the display is the big power drain. If you are likely to run out of juice, turn it off when you don't need it. That way you'll still have the camera standing by without having to worry too much about the battery running down. Also, whatever the power consumption might be, it is always good to have two batteries, so you can use one while the other one is being loaded. Or better still, you don't need to worry about when to load because if you take two batteries and the one in the camera runs down you can use the other. You're unlikely to go through more than one battery in one day, so in the evening you ca charge the one that ran down.
:So in the price of the camera you should include the price of two batteries - they differ quyite a lot, especially if there are (decent) alternatives by other manufacturers (such as [http://www.hama.co.uk/portal Hama] (if you buy two of those you'll have Hamas :) )) [[User:DirkvdM|DirkvdM]] 11:59, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
