-   GE A735 bought at Best Buy has the same problem. Brand new batteries get a few pics then "Battery Exhausted". Wait a few minutes and it works for maybe 1 or 2 pics, then "Battery Exhausted" again.

Dark red camera color does make a nice paperweight.-   Guest

-   Having same issue as everyone else. No matter which batteries I use (even Cannon NIMH batteries) my camera turns off and will not turn back on except to display the "change batteries" error on the LCD. I contacted Best Buy (where I purchased the camera 11 months ago) and they could tell me nothing except that If I didn't purchase the extended service plan to call Cannon. I called Cannon directly and was told they have never heard of this happening. That strikes me as odd since a simple Google search shows at least 15-20 people describing the same issue. I plan to send the camera back to them (with my original receipt) and obtain a replacement. Other then this issue and the delay b/w pictures when using the flash, this camera has always been reliable and provided me with some fantastic photos_ Nicole L King -   Nicole King

-   I too have the same problem.. I take maybe 15 pictures and the batteries die.. I have tried buying new re-chargeables, and the same thing happened. So, I tried a different brand plus a new charger, the same thing. I find regular batteries last longer, but only by about 10 shots.. I don't understand this! What is the problem with these cameras? How to fix this without spending $100.00 at a Canon store? Any suggestions? Thanks!-   Goldenhicks

-   The camera runs down the batteries in a few hours even if it's turned off. And then it forgets date, time, etc. if I store it without the batteries in it.
