    Hey Colleen,

    Yes the battery can be a source of frustration. The reason the better cameras use their own battery design is because AA batteries come in wide range of abilities, and manufacturers get frustrated with a great camera failing to operate properly due to cheap batteries. I’ve seen a few people on my photo tours have problems with their compact digitals only to discover it was the battery and not the camera.

    Also, the technology in the chargers is excellent these days – they are really light, really small and easy to travel with. Try to think of the Lumix style cameras as a complete system that does away with the need for buying AA batteries or struggling with rechargables that fail when you need them most!

    But get a spare battery if you can. They’re so small and give you freedom to shoot without having to conserve your juice.
