BatteriesYes, batteries. If your going to buy a digital camera you have better get used to saying this word. Say it with me "Batteries" :) The earlier digital cameras where absolute monsters at eating batteries. Modern cameras have improved substantially. The main problem with a digital camera is the LCD screen on the back, which if used to take the picture, (instead of your viewfinder) will absolutely cripple your batteries very quickly. If your potential purchase takes AA batteries then a few sets of rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries or if you can afford them Lithium Ion (LHIon) plus a charger is worth their weight in gold. They last longer than standard AA batteries and are cheaper in the long run. Remember, flat batteries = no pictures. Also if the camera takes AA batteries then you can buy these anywhere if you can´t use your rechargeable batteries. If you purchase a camera which uses a non standard battery then you should also purchase a spare or two, just in case. When buying batteries look at the Milli Amp Hour rating on the battery, most from the main chain stores will be 1450 mah to 1550 mah. Specialist battery suppliers (See link below) will sell up to 2200 Mah batteries, slightly more expensive but the drain that the camera places on these batteries will be less, meaning more images per charge.
