Am I the only one with battery problems ?
I've got a KODAK 7330 camera ( which takes superb pics )
half-a-dozen different brand nimh batterys,
and three different chargers !
My memory card estimates "400+ pics"
But, I doubt that I've gotten as many as 40 pictures on a set of batterys.
This power thing is taking over my photo experience.
While on vacation, I left my camera in the car overnight.
Temps dropped into the lo 50's... In the morning... dead batterys.
I charge my batterys before taking the camera anywhere...
I carry a spare set of fully charged batterys.
I may have to start taking my charger on sight-seeing trips.
It's getting so I'm more concerned with battery life
than with taking pictures.
I long for the days when I could take my ( film ) camera
off the shelf after a year... and take pictures !!

Two things spring to mind. Do you use the LCD viewer often? This is the
single biggest drain on battery power, so using it to take photos instead of
the viewfinder and frequent reviewing of pictures will drastically reduce
battery life.
Second - I find that rechargable batteries tend to have a longer life than
non-rechargeables in digital cameras. However, you should buy the highest
power ones you can (I use 2500's). Anything below 2000 is inadequate for
prolonged shooting.
If the problem persists, then I think your camera may have a problem. You'll
never get the same power performance from a digital camera as a film one,
but it shouldn't spoil your enjoyment - as it clearly is now.
Good luck.
