| 736822 | 2009-01-11 03:09:00 | The problem with AA's is unless we managed to get a set that cost 20 odd dollars they ran out within a dozen photo's, Two Eneloops do not cost that much. See here. (search.dse.co.nz) Eneloops made all the difference. Regular rechargeable AA's only lasted a short time, as you have found. |

| 736823 | 2009-01-11 03:14:00 | I wouldn't touch a camera that doesn't take AA's as I spend a fair amount of time in the back blocks and want to be able to swap out batteries from my other devices if I need to like my head torch or my gps there's a lot to be said for having all your devices take the same batty Exactly. My wife just returned from India and she forgot to take the camera charger (yeah I should have checked). After three days the battery went flat so that was the end of pics and vids. A year ago she was in Rome with a camera with AA rechargeables and again she did not take a charger but when the two sets of AA's went flat she simply bought some alkalines. |

| 736824 | 2009-01-11 03:21:00 | Beats me why anyone is trying to sway me towards AA batteries when I have already stated they don't suit. I'm happy that your happy with what your using, and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. So multiple posts telling me I should be using what we have already decided to avoid are completely and utterly pointless. Li-po > AA, at least around here and that's where it matters. |

| 736825 | 2009-01-11 03:43:00 | Biggest problem I have with AA batteries in cameras, is when you go to use it the mrs or the kids have bloody swiped them for something else. | plod (107) | ||

The point is that you say AA's do not last long, and I say that Eneloops DO in fact last a long time in the Samsung camera. I guess you do not believe this but my two friends have found it to be true. But OK, you have given up on AA's no matter what, and you want to sell the Samsung and spend $$ on a new camera, so Li-ion it is, no problem. Just remember that while this is your thread - you asked the original question - there are others who may benefit from knowing about Eneloops (even though this has already been discussed on PF1). |

| 736828 | 2009-01-11 09:13:00 | In comparison both my cameras that run on an inbuilt Li-po battery go for months at a time without needing a charge and can quite easily take a couple hundred shots with no indicated battery run down. They just explode if you overcharge them... ;) My son just purchased a Canon A590IS for $240 including some rechargable AA's (not trying to influence you of course :p) and they last quite a while of the NiMh rechargeables. Great camera for the price. |

Even then...... |
