I am shopping for a new digital camera that would cost under $150.
My question, is the battery usage of all digital camera the same, or
do some cameras need battery replacement less frequently than others?

Generally speaking replacing batteries in a digital camera is not
done.

Just because you use rechargeable batteries doesn't mean you don't have to replace them. When the set in the camera go dead, you need to put a fresh set in. Unless you are willing to stop what you are doing and wait for the only set you have to recharge. I think the OP is looking for long battery life so he doesn't have to swap out a set of cells or recharge very often. Also all rechargeable cells can only be recharged a certain number of times before they need to be replaced. The more shots you can take before recharging the longer the cells are going to last.
