Are these best for a digital camera requiring for AA batteries? If not, what is best? Anyone got rec's?

I have used many Sanyo eneloop AA cells in my old Canon S1, new Canon S5, Canon 420EX flash unit, etc. I believe low-self-discharge batteries are idealy suited for digital cameras, especially for intermittent shooting. There are people who claim that ordinary NiMH cells are better because those are rated 2700mAh instead of 2000mAh. But I never have the need to shoot 500 pictures in one day. Plus I keep one set of spare batteries in the camera bag anyway. Ordinary NiMH cells self-discharge so fast, you always have to recharge the batteries just before shooting. Plus there is no point in keeping a spare set because it would become exhausted by the time you need it.

Hi! I ended up using rechargeable sony batteries... they lasted a long time...and I always kept a spare pair... I didn't want a missed photo opportunity!My new camera has a different kind of lithium battery that needs its own charger... It's annoying because if the battery loses all its charge, I can't just throw in a couple of duracell AA's and keep shooting photos... I have to wait for a recharge ... or buy an extra battery for several $$$ I hope this helps! ps... I also know that cold temperatures really knock down battery life.

These take AA batteries. I own a few of them, and I use rechargeable AA. They work great on either alkalines or rechargeables.

Yes Sir, They might not last as long... but they work Fine. That's some fine camera don't you think???? Try the Sony A7S.... Crazy.... You might get the Power supply for it also. You can find them CHEAP..;. I've got two... One for my A65 and one for my A77.... and well as my Sony A7S....

+1 on Ryan's post. I just recently bought this sx110is camera, and when I was shopping for my new digital camera my very first criteria was AA batteries. It goes without saying that having a universally available power suppy while traveling is indispensible. It's so easy to forget to charge proprietary batteries - and that's if you remembered to bring the charger. Even at home, I never want to have the day come that I want to capture a moment but can't, because I forgot to charge the battery pack. It's true that you'll get more shots per charge on a proprietary battery pack, but when you can get several hundred from a set of AA's, what else do you need? The one downfall of the 2xAA's in this canon is a long flash recharge time (during which you cannot take any pictures, flash or not) - around 5 seconds if you use the highest of 3 flash settings (flash recharge is pretty quick on the medium or low flash settings). If you're going to be at an engagement where you're going to want quicker turnaround (wedding/whatever) you can always buy Lithium AA's - expensive, but great performance. Also consider that a typical lithium battery pack will only last around 5 years. It's the nature of lithiums. Plus, if you care, niMH is better for the environment than lithium...

These are standard AA rechargeable batteries. If your camera uses AA batteries it should work fine.

one more vote for the Energizer L91 AA lithium batteries. I found they lasted at least 4 times as long as brand name alkaline batteries in my now stolen canon a530. while the initial purchase of the batteries is more expensive they end up costing you less money because they last so much longer. i also noticed the camera weighed much less with them in it and the flash seemed to recharge faster.

Double A (AA) and it is best that you use the Lithium Type batteries as they last longer and you get better use out of the camera.

Use 2 AAA batteries. Although I haven't used rechargeable ones I don't know why they wouldn't work. They will not last long. I always keep an extra set with the camera.

No, AA batteries will not work. The camera comes with a battery pack and charger. Hope that helps!

No They have AAA battery slots. Worked for me with strobes but I didn't get a faster shutter speed than 1/320.

Yep, you can use AA batteries (4). Will last a few days with moderate usage. We use these on our ATV's and this feature has saved me a couple of times.

No they're not, that's why I was skeptical myself, but I've already used them for several photo shoots; they totally work as long as my old batteries whatever the brand name is. But yeah they're not canon.

What do you mean my "Regular AA batteries"?If your item takes rechargable AAs, these will work just fine.What does your manual say?

Yea with my experience you wanna go with the more expensive batteries that are made to last longer go to best buy and ask or go on google and search best batterys for digital camera theres batterys that handle better for these cameras and possibly look into rechargeable batteries

I am a little confused about your reference to "taking them on trips". Do they work for you at home, and only go DOA when you are away? At any rate, I have been using mine for over a year. Flawless performance, although the original Olympus battery does outlast the Wasabi. The Wasabi are still quite adequate (and affordable), and certainly don't loose the charge just by sitting in my case. If yours are not working - at home, or away - you should get a replacement. FYI, I am shooting the OMD E-M5 also.

Use rechargeable AA batteries. Any of the precharged, "low-self-discharge" type are good; Eneloop, etc. Buy a set of 4 and a charger, swap as necessary. I've been getting at least 10 hours of recording time on one charge...
