I said it probably damaged my camera! Why would you worry about the batteries? It uses 4 AA batteries

I have used NiMh and rechargeable batteries with no problem with mine, although most of my shots are in bright, existing light. There are a couple of settings that will prevent the flash from functioning. The flash will not work in Discrete Mode or the No Flash Mode. There may be other settings also. Check the manual.

The camera uses 3 at a time (3A) and the batteries last quite a while. Our grandson loves his camera - he easily learned how to use the camera- within a couple of minutes- and he's 2 ½ . He got the camera in June and my daughter has only changed the batteries once. Not sure about the rechargeable type. He takes a lot of pictures and they are quite good - they are a little grainy when enlarged because of the megapixels but for a childs camera it is great! There is a setup disk for your computer that allows you to download the pictures from the camera to your computer which is interesting.

They use both. Rechargeable and non-rechargeable. I order my batteries from Surefire.

This is a wonderful battery pack unit that powers the Canon 580 series and 600 flashes. It allows the flash to recycle much faster and last longer, so that your flash photography is easier, faster and can continue without interruption. It uses 8 AA batteries and there are 4 AA batteries in the flash.

It uses 4 AA batteries. I guess you could use rechargeable batteries. I haven't had to replace them yet. This is a very powerful light for the size.

I can not answer that specific question but I was compelled to write... I have not had much success with the EF-X20 Flash in one regard. It works fine, but it eats batteries like crazy. Really... it seems that I get only 10-20 shots out of a set of AAA batteries. Not happy about that.

Yes, can use rechargeable batteries, but I purchased a rechargeable battery box:Stealth Cam 12V Battery Boxwhich lasts more than a month at a time, is rechargeable and has made maintaining batteries much less hassle

I use only rechargeables. See if you can find a brand that is rated at least 750 mAh. I did have a backlight issue (see my review). Sandisk responded that the backlight will not respond if the battery is low, even though the player will still play. All the more reason to use rechargeables, since if you really need the backlight, you'll be throwing away good batteries before they're completely used up.

Not unless they use this type. If it calls for AA these will damage your flash if attempted to be used.

I use rechargeable AA batteries. ..I picked up whatever was cheap at the local store.They work just fine...if you keep four in the camera and four charging, you'll never run out!

its difficult to say how long batteries last, as it can be variable and dependent upon the number of shots requiring flash, the number of times you turn on-off the camera between shots, and the amount of focusing and telephoto activities. I do use rechargeable batteries (I'm currently using 4-year old 2450 mAH NiMH batteries and easily shoot 150+ pics). With good new batteries, one should get considerably more battery life!

Yes, actually I use rechargeable batteries AA. I have two brands, phillips and sony, and Sony batteries work much more better. If you use Sony batteries around 2000 mAh (I think mine are 2100) camara will last a long long time. Sony charger worked excellent with sony and other brands batteries. Besides that, this canon take good pictures with the right day light, not at noght (like most of its kind), and flash consumes a lot of battery and takes some time to recharge after the light. But for the price, is great. The optical zoom is good, the digital is not. And finally, it has also manual settings. Yes, actually I use rechargeable batteries AA.

I don't have the answer to that but the flash failed the 2nd time I turned it on and I returned it. I do not recommend buying it.

We have only had our camera for a few months, but the batteries will last a good amount of time depending on how much you are using your zoom. Yes, you can use rechargeable batteries. I just ordered the Eneloop batteries, I hope they work as good as the reviews say they do.

You can use rechargeable batteries, BUT ONLY if they are ALKALINE Batteries. This is what I was told, so best to do what they say. Good Luck!!!!!

I have had very good success with the chargeable batteries. I really like the flash lights I have two and a charger.
