Canon camera question re batteries

[RobertInOntario]

I often refer to a website that evaluates many things electronic: I know that can be dangerous, but it often gives some direction.
Under digital cameras, they have your camera: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-a1100-is/4505-6501_7-33528998.html?tag=mncol;lst">http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras ... =mncol;lst</a><!-- m -->
They consider is a good camera for the money, but under 'The Bad" they say "Short battery life".
So apparently you are not the only one to find a problem with the battery system.

Thanks, Dwight -- that's reassuring to know! It's a great camera otherwise, just annoying (and expensive) re the batteries. As mentioned, unless I need to replace/update my rechargables, it goes through rechargables even faster. I've been using the eneloop rechargables.
