I've had this camera almost a year. At first I could get a ton of pictures on one battery charge. Then I started getting less and less. Within a 10-20 shots I'd get the low battery sign. Now I can't even get 1 picture. It says my batteries are low or dead even though they are fully charged. I just bought a new battery thinking the old ones were worn out and maybe not holding a charge but it's the same deal. Then I had dh test the batteries with a meter so I know they really are fully charged. Frustrating as the last Kodak digital I had ended up doing the same thing and is why I upgraded to this one last year.
I have the exact same camera almost a year too. It is a total "swinka" on batteries. About 10-15 shots on super ni-cads, and quits without warning.
A pair of Energizer 7X gave me near 500 shots. Much cheaper but still ...
So 4 months ago I bought a charger and 2 rechargeables. Charge one while using the other one.
I may get 70-90 shots per charge on these lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, without flash.
Testing the batteries without a load doesn't really tell you anything.
What's the reading? Should be well over 4 volts when fully charged. Mine show 4.2V

Thank you to everyone I was able to enlighten somehow.
The other thing about this camera is the LOUD mechanism. I hope it's synonimous with "STURDY" and "LONG LASTING".
I found it out when "shooting" some squirrels and chipmonks. LOL!
As soon as I turned the camera ON, they'd all take off!!! LOL!
This did not happen with my Canon Powershot
Any anocdotes will be greatly appreciated.
