I love the canons, but I got one of the Elphs that use the rechargeable lithium battery. That battery lasts much long than AA batteries and recharges in about an hour.

The latest AA NiMH rechargables are 2500 mah +. They last at least 3-4 times longer than disposable batteries. I guess I just view the "special dedicated batteries" as a scam by the manufacturers to try and milk more money out of the consumer (kind of like printer ink cartridges). Many people after initially buying the device, will then spend a small fortune on extra "special" batteries and maybe a 12v car charger as well.
