Samsungs have a reputation for being battery eaters. They also have a reputation of being junk.

Canon produce great cameras.

Kodak produce great (not so great as canon) and easy to use cameras.

Answer 3

Most digital cameras today can use NiMH rechargeable batteries.  These batteries will last for many years, but will discharge in about two weeks when not in use.  These are the same type batteries used in electric and hybrid cars.

These batteries will operate most cameras for about three hours depending the charge and camera use.

The Cannon SD750 (black) seems to be one of the best cameras for the money.

Also, consider similar cameras with optical view finders. This really helps in bright sun.

Check Walmart and Best Buy for prices. The people at Best Buy can give you really great advise and good prices.

The second source link will help you learn how to clean the camera and battery contacts on any camera you buy. Digital Cameras require lots of power. If the contacts are not really good it can cause lots of problems.
