I'm sure you have a reason, but I'd avoid the internal rechargable
batteries in favor of a camera that takes four AAs. My daughter has a
Sony with the internal charger, and when the batteries go down she's
out of business until she can recharge with her AC adapter. (She does
have a spare battery, but they are very expensive)

Rechargeable AAs work fine. If they do go flat, you are seldom far
from a place that sells non-chargable AAs for temporary use.


I can't see any possible advantage to internal rechargeable.
