digital cameras and batteries

[boystupidboy]

I've just bought a digital camera,only a cheapo Olympus 3.2 megapixel.The problem is that it seems to use up the batteries stupidly quick.I put 2 duracel in and within about 1 hour they were totally shot(thats without much 'zooming)
Is this normal or have i got a dodgy camera?

I'm no expert but digital cameras use batteries with a higher current than your regular batteries. Maybe you should see how much mA the batteries you put in give and check the manual how much your camera needs.

rechargables.

no I just have the feeling I've seen this thread before and I know how it ends.

No - he is serious in needing help with this, I have just enlisted the help of a fellow interferencer too. So - all is back on track!

I have a Sony Cyber-shot, but it came with some recharbable cyber-shot batteries which hold a charge for absolutely ages - I charged them for the first time in over a month and a half last nite. I recommend trying to get your hands on some of those if you can - they'll keep you going for about 9 hours.

Rechargeable Batteries. I have Energizer and they work like a charm. I have the rechargeable ones since Decemeber 2004 and have yet to replace them.

One of the things I love about this forum is how that drool smilie is used for the most random things

I've had the rechargables in my camera ever since I got it back in April 2003.

My camera will go through regular 8 AA batteries if I'm taking photos at a family event, especially if I'm using the flash. I bought a more expensive charger and 4 AA set. In Africa (where I wasn't using a flash), they lasted for almost three days straight without needing to be recharged, and at the time I was shooting constantly.

You two need to get a room.

 

[boystupidboy]

Surely this is a crock of shite Batteries should last longer than that!

with a view???

rechargables may be cheeper in the long run, but if all you're looking for are batteries that will last a long ass time, go with these suckers.

expensive, but they last a loooooong time before running out.

^ I used those for the U2 show and they lasted the entire show and then some.

 

[boystupidboy]

Duracel are usually the 'daddies' but they dont seem to last long at all Why do digital cameras use up so much battery power?
