You are not the one who having this though, I am also thinking if should I
choose Fuji S20 Pro or Minolta A200 (not sale till Nov), fuji uses AA,
minolta uses Li-ion battery. However it is found that Li-ion last longer
than AA. I may said if you got more dollars to spend, buy the one uses
Li-ion battery and buy one more for spare, otherwise AA battery will gives
you less worry when go on holiday.
