Digital Camera Question[views:1227][posts:5]_________________________________ [Dec 29,2006 12:50pm - xmikex ""] I've got a Canon Powershot S1 IS. I love the camera, but it just chews through batteries way faster than I'd care for. I've got a rechargable AA battery kit which helps $$$ wise but I'm really looking for a way to extend my actual usage time. Any suggestions? |

I've read that heavy duty batteries are some of the shortest lasting batteries. also, don't leave batteries in the camera when you're not using it, because the camera will drain them when it's off. and also, rechargable batteries loose their longevity after a few dozen recharges, they aren't perminent. |
