Is Canon doing away with AA Batteries in the Powershot line?

Absolutely right!! I'm looking for a new camera now, and DO want the convenience of AA batteries! Please let me know if you find out which camera(s) do take AA batteries...

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!

According to Canon, the Powershot S110 uses an NB-5L battery. Be careful, though, of counterfeit batteries even sold here on Amazon. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/digital_cameras/powershot_s110#SuppliesAndAccessories

You can do either. It comes with two separate inserts: one for AAs and one for standard Canon batteries.

Yes and it's also having rapid battery discharge while just shooting photos compared to the previous Canons I've owned. Disappointed how quickly the battery must be changed.

I dont use AA batteries because they don't last very long. I use 2 Canon E6 batteries.

Using regular AA batteries, yes, this will happen. I use Lithium AA batteries and they last through hundreds of pictures including flash. More expensive but well worth the convenience!

No, this is NOT a Canon battery. It's the same battery that came with my Powershot SX700. The only difference I notice is that is doesn't say Canon on it, and it's over $30 less expensive.

It uses 4 AA batteries. That is a feature I liked because the batteries always run out when you are in the middle of taking pictures, and it is easy to have extra AA batteries to keep taking photos. But it would take time to recharge the batteries and you would miss out on photo opportunities.

If your camera says it takes +AA batteries, I don't see why it cannot be used.

It is not the entire battery. It takes eight AA batteries and will only work for Canon cameras.

I am using regular AA batteries and have taken about 1,000 pictures, no video so far, and the batteries have about 1/4 left. I do have a set of rechargeable batteries, with a charger, which I will try soon.

Hello, the camera comes with two AA regular batteries that we use for many electronic devices. You may purchases rechargeable batteries though. NOTE that the camera does NOT come with that Lithium square battery that other Canon cameras use :(

The pack includes a new designed strap (like Canon strap, but still narrower, only about 4CM), there's no AA battery adapter. If you buy an addditonal grip. that will be included, but still not work without that grip.

The Canon Powershot A2200 does have a rechargeable battery (NB-8L 3.6V 740mAh (Li Ion) and comes with a charger that plugs into an outlet (CB2 LA). You simply snap the battery into the charger, plug it in and wait for the light to change from yellow (charging) to green (charging complete).

Yup, 4 AAs just like the previous models. You can use your preferred type of battery of course , but that's the size. Side note/update that I may post later: You are paying big bucks for only a little bit more power and recycle time and built in radio transmitter. If you really know how to make the most of your flash, you can get the same results using much cheaper flashes. Worthwhile reference: Scott Robert Lim courses.Sorry, prob more info than you asked for!

Only AA sized batteries fit in the camera. You can use rechargeables if you want, but I find they don't last all that long. I view this as a benefit since the AA batteries are available nearly everywhere. With other cameras I was always waiting for the battery to recharge, since nothing else fit.
