Panasonic usually has a reasonably good low cost camera. But it's not a market I've really paid much attention to, so I don't have any specific recommendations. I would avoid kodak and go with panasonic or canon or nikon.


Switch to eneloop AA batteries will help like another post mentioned... I've never conditioned mine like another poster has mentioned and I've never had a problem with that. Costco sells a pack of eneloops & charger.

While these batteries do list lower mAH levels than other rechargeable batteries...what these batteries do is maintain their 1.2 volts while discharging...Most regular rechargeable AA batteries drop in voltage as they're discharging, and most electronics stop being able to use the charge once the voltage drops under 1.1 volts... So eneloop batteries will run electronics for much longer than other batteries with other mAh ratings because they maintain voltage. THey also do not self discharge as quickly.
