Want digital camera which takes AA batteries

Hi

Looking to buy a good quality, min 5 megapixels, black colour digital camera which takes AA alkaline/rechargeable batteries. The only one i have come across is the Sony S930@ £80
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-CyberShot-S930-Digital-Camera/dp/B0026Q0EJS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1243711544&sr=8-2

Are there any other out there (top brands only)?

Cheers :)

    thanks for the replies.

    Ermmm also seen the Canon Powershot A2100 which takes AA batteries and i really like the 6x optical zoom and 3" screen on this camera but its nearly £200 :eek:

    Will probably go for the Sony S930 or Canon Powershot A480
