What batteries are best for my digital camera?

Question

If it helps i have a Canon Powershot A530.

Answer 1

I have the Canon A540 and I very much prefer the Energizer Lithium.  They are not rechargeable but I get a lot of use out of each set, they really do last 7x longer in digital cameras.  They last me about 4 months and I take A LOT of pictures.  Tons of them.  I have turned all of my friends on to them now.

Answer 2

Any AA battery will work, but the camera is optimized for NiMH rechargeable.

Answer 3

I have the Powershot A 540.

I am very happy with the Sanyo eneloop rechargeables.  They come charged and remain charged out of the camera.  And in the camera, they seem to last longer than any others I have tried.
