The ten power is good for most all that you will do.

I guess you and I have kid camera's, but don't worry, I entered film
contests back into the early 60s with a cheap KOWA slr and I won some nifty
credentials but I dared not let those, who had thousand dollar cameras, know
that they got snuckered by a kids toy.

Taking good pictures takes practice, having a 500 dollar camera is probably
all that you or I need for taking good pictures.

Carol, if that is your name, I look for a camera that takes good pictures
and I no longer buy Sony because they use weird batteries and having AAs ,
in my camera's gives me the advantage, by going to a corner store and
purchasing off the shelf batteries in an emergency.

The most important thing is to purchase a good set of AAs with 2300 or more
Mah and that should do the trick.  But, I also bave some 1800s and will buy
up when they die, though, I get about 100 pictures, with many (using Fuji
s5000) being in flash mode.

Believe me, let no one kid you, that the important thing is Mah if both
types have the same ( lithium etc.) then both will die in the same amount of
time.  The difference is in the chemical make up and its ability to hold a
charge.  I would have to go into boring details if I were to prove this, so
I wont.

Like you, my NMH batteries do me well.   "But "be careful you do not charge
unless your batteries are really low or else they will charge lower and
lower each time.  That is one of the reason many manufacturers recommend
Lithium, its chemical make up allows for frequent charging.

To us with toy cameras.

Good luck
Keith
