Which Cameras use AA batteries? Why is this model dropping in popularity and why is it selling for more than list price?

Agreed on AA batteries. I do a bit of international photography and can always find AA batteries. It's impossible to find specialized batteries in most of Africa and Latain America, and a charging unit for a specialized battery is just more gear to lug around, with the risk of loss.

This camera takes 4 AA batteries. I started using the lithium ones rather than the regular alkaline. They last a lot longer and work really well.

It takes AA batteries but if you download photo's often it definitely uses up your batteries but it is an easy fix since you can get AA batteries pretty inexpensive at Walmart. Not so good at taking pics of fast moving objects unless you use the video recorder on it. I find that works great with sound too. I love this camera!! Hope that helps ...

Jeffery,I use two camera batteries in mine and I have never run out of battery power. Even shooting action shots with the lense continuous focusing all day and taking 500-750 photos. I do not know if it will take AA batteries but knowing that I have two camera batteries and never had a failure, I'll just continue to go that route.

The 2 AA batt was the main selling feature of this camera for me. I sure couldn't afford to buy countless spare battery packs but U can buy a whole boatload of AA Batts at COSTCO for around $19! I just keep them in my car and carry a few pair around in my pocket. Yes the camera sure does EAT AAs, but its alot better than the Rechargeable alternative. U can buy AAs anywhere in the world but Ucan't always charge batts when out in the world!

There is a website that has this camera and the prices are very resonable. The site is adorama.com. They are located in NYC and I have been dealing with them for a while now and I never had a problem with them. They have the camera in stock. Once you get the camera, you will enjoy it.

GET THE Z950 NOW! The price listed today (6/15) is crazy! Sorry I'm excited lol, 139.99 is awesome. I've been eyeing this camera for a while. I'm all in for this price and free two day shipping for non prime members is bacon on the burger....... Back on topic! The z915 uses AA batteries so the more you spend for batteries the longer they will last and there's some decent rechargeables out there. The z950 uses this Kodak KLIC-7003 Li-lon Rechargeable Battery and I think it last for about 250 shots. I like the z950 battery option more but I'm no camera pro so hopefully someone has better advice for ya.

My SX150 IS came with two AA batteries (cheap ones...didn't last long so have some on hand) and no memory card. Most cameras don't include a memory card so this isn't unexpected. I love the camera...I use it as a "bag" camera when doing anything serious with my Canon digital SLR camera and find myself using it more and more. Kate

This camera take AA batteries, but I would not buy one. The one I bought did not work and their return policy is horrible and so I am just out the money and had to buy a different camera.

I have the same question, but given the features and the general guidelines for batteries on Kodak's site (any lithium, rechargables, etc, just NO Alkies) I feel that the camera will be worth the risk. My local stores have 10 paks of AA lithiums for about 10 bucks; if it gets 100 insteadof the promised 220 per pair, I'll still be happy with it. Will try to come back after I play with it!

Thanks for the heads-up. I was ready to buy this camera until I started reading about the battery situation. Looks like a good camera but unfortunately, if you can't keep it powered up, it just becomes drawer junk.

How long do the batteries last? I love my Lithium rechargables on my Kodak becasue I have NEVER ran out of batteries. My mother has also purchased digital cameras that use 4 AAs and is also having to recharge them. It drives me crazy!!!!!!!!! Do you generally carry around extra batteries? I guess I also leave my camera plugged in, so it is always fully charged and ready to go. I would like to try and Olympus but the 4 AA batteries is really holding me back!Please help!

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

The camera uses four AA batteries. I use rechargable AA batteries in my camera, and they work great.

Uses AA batteries, but have use it for more than 100 pictures and haven´t yet needed to recharge the ones the camera came with.

You will need some regular AA batteries. It takes two. I really suggest you get four and make them rechargable because this camera will suck the charge out of them very fast. Get a 1 gig the cheaper the better.
