Ok not an FS discussion but I am having problems deciding something. My Sony Cybershot, a decent little point-and-shoot, gave up the ghost. As I was shopping for a replacement I learned a devious change had taken place. The majority of the new cameras now use re-chargable batteries, let me change that to must use $40-$60 specific rechargable batteries. I want to know if these will work comparably to the AA batteries my old one used.
I always carried an extra set so I never missed a shot, but I can see the time now where I'll find myself out of juice with no outlet or time to wait while this new thing charges. I feel a bit extorted. There are still a smattering of AA cameras out there but they fall a bit short in other areas. It's like you can hardly find a corded phone anymore either-everything needs a re-chargable battery. And the included charger guarantees the battery will fry up one week past the warranty date (experience). Man oh man, these guys are good.
So anyway, rant over. Are these new cameras likely to last a good long time between charges? One Geek Squad flunky said about 120-150 pictures per charge.
