Title: Battery Hog? Alkaline Yes, NiMH No.
Product review: The manual functions, 7x zoom and amazing quality of pictures are the reasons why I gave this camera 5 stars. Sure alkaline batteries in this thing are a joke, but with some 1600 mAh AA NiMH batteries and a fast charger ... I get 150+ shots per set of batteries (30% flash). Buy another set on batteries at [price]and you have more power for a days outing than you need. Kudos to Minolta for not chaining the consumer to a proprietary LiOH battery.
