What are the best batterys for a digital camera ?

Have been going through cheap ones like nobodys business and have you got a link to order them pretty please

 

What kind of batteries are you talking about?

 

are you talking AA ?

get some rechargable ones, with the highest rating you can find

 

yeah need 4 AA's and how do i know the rating ?

 

Ever heard of rechargeables?

 

yeah course i have so how do you tell what the rating is on them ??

 

Just get the biggest capacity you can afford.. 2400mah aren't tooe expensive.

When i was using a digicam that took 2 AA's i used Duracell Ultra's because thats all that would work.
Id put some cheapo ones in and nothing would happen, id get the battery led flashing red but the Duracell Ultra's used to last ok.
If you dont use it much go for a pack of those from Argos or something, if you use it alot then rechargables would make more sense

 

Be careful, as a lot of the ratings are garbage.
I have been using NIMH, NICD, for over 10 years, used in everything I own that takes batteries.
The charger is MORE important than the batteries as a bad one will kill them in no time.
Don't even waste money on NICD, or NICKEL CADMIUM/nicads in normal speak as they suffer from memory effect, in that with every use they get weaker and hold less charge, even when doing complete discharges before every charge, complete waste of money these days.
Get NIMH, or NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE, these will have a capacity of between about 1300mah, to 2700mah.
For the money UNIROSS certainly take a lot of beating, from Maplin's etc, these NIMH do not suffer memory effect, and still give out full voltage up to 80% discharged, whereas it goes down a lot on NICD.
If you want performance I have yet to find better than ANSMANN, the batteries are a bit pricey, as are the chargers but ace.
Energizer and Duracell are crap IMO.
I currently use/have over 100 AA rechargeables, plus AAA, CR123 etc.
My ansmann batteries(4XAA) when in my Fuji Finepix 9600S digi camera take in excess of 800 pictures at 10 MEG on one charge, so you won't run out.

agree with tabetha, i have some uniross ones that have done well

 

Or you can go out and buy a proper camera with a recharagable battey
My sony cybershot seems to last forever

 

i will do but have started with a fuji finepix s5700 very basic but with a few features to start me off to get the hang of as iv never had more than a point n click jobbie

 

you can get a point and click recharagble, but they do start from 120-130 though.

Well worth it in the long run, whenever you decide to upgrade

 

but you can buy aa batteries anywhere in the world - you can't always plug in a charger

 

well this being my reason im off to costa rica on thursday and didnt wanna take 10 packs of cheap batteries or run round looking for em while im their

My original camera was a Fuji Finepix 6900, cost me £900, but left it in a very nice camera bag with lots of accessories(total £1200) on the roof of my car at Snetterton and drove off!!
This had a inbuilt rechargeable battery but cost me £45 every year or so for a new one, as they just conked out, the replacement was what I now have and the AA battery bit is ace, as said find somewhere that sells batteries, and I'd be amazed if they didn't have AA's.
At least I am a bit more careful where I leave it now!!

You can even start the car if it has a flat battery with AA!!!
