 Having the option of AA batteries is great! I have the Canon G5, good
camera, but MUST use the rechargeable battery. A colleague has just returned
from a European hol. Took heaps of pics with his A80, ran out of battery
life several times but no drama, just bought some AA's and off he went. It
ADDS flexibility.
