I have had a lot of success using rechargable batteries, I had the same
problem with my digital camera, batteries would last for a few
pictures. I purchased rechargable NI-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
batteries, 2500mAh strength and they work great. I also put them in my
GPS with similar results. You can get them with the charger at different
locations - I bought the charger with 2 batteries at Ace Hardware on
sale for $10.00 I have seen similar sales elsewhere or you can check
eBay.
