My PowerShot A720 IS digital camera (from 2008) permits AA-size 1.2 V NiMH or regular disposable AA alkaline batteries. Can I use AA-size 1.5 V Lithium batteries?

The manual ([pdf](http://www.nait.ca/libresources/manuals/Canon-PowerShotA720IS.pdf)) warns against nickel-cadmium, but doesn't mention Lithium:

> 
> This camera uses AA-size alkaline batteries or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries. While it is possible to use a size nickel-cadmium batteries, performance is unreliable and their use is not recommended.

Thoughts?

**EDIT**: [Here](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B0000DC4EL) are the proposed Lithium batteries.
