    Dear jenniewb;37778272
    The secret with saving money with battery is that buy the rechargeable one. Of course you could buy 10 of AAA in a pound shop but normally this batteries not suitable for camera.

    Also look at their capacity which is normally mention in mAH. I could easily get 4 pieces good battery as well as a charger for about £7 on eBay.

    Sorry to hijack this- if no one feels like answering on here I can start up another thread but figured theres already one similar going....

    I need a camera- basic thing to shoot and take images to post online so the Meg-Pix. don't need to be that high, I think 5 should be fine (but wouldn't turn down a higher spec!) I have the Fuji A900 which now seems to not work. I have tried downloading software but still my computer is not recognisng it. I am not happy to get another fuji-film camera as also this one I have eats batteries in minutes. 2XAAs go within 20 minutes even if the thing is not plugged in! And if I turn it off with the batteries in they are empty when I turn the camera on another day. Not figured out why this happens or how...

    I need it to be very easy to upload to computer as this is the main thing I will be doing.

    Oh and as cheap as I can get. Ideally anyway!

    So in a nutshell:
    Cheap
    Meg-pixels aprox 5
    Batteries last for days rather then minutes and don't die when the camera is turned off
    Easy to upload pictures/software easy to use.
    And if possible, available in a store rather then online as I need it asap and am not in most days to wait for the post (which arrives at 1pm-2pm most days).

    Thankyou!
