Digital photos - just not the same as film

They make AA lithium batteries? Is it a single battery or 2, like regular AA's? I'll look for that. Thanks for commenting. Glad to know it isn't just me being picky!

You can buy then in a double if your camera is built to take them that way or you can buy them single just like normal AA or AAA batteries, they sell them where ever they sell batteries and a few different companies are making them now and of course can not be recharged, they are a little more expensive, I would never go back to ordinary batteries for my camera or ever use rechargeable again...

Thanks. I'm going to look for them. If I am constantly buying the cheaper regular AA's, I might as well spend a bit more and not have to constantly be concerned if the bat is going bad. Thanks for enlightening me!

Mine is new - Cannon Powershot A560. I didn't do the editing first, didn't realize it'd be an issue. Figured with all the hoopla these last few years of everything going digital, that if the digital cameras produced worse pictures than film, people wouldn't have taken to them as much as they have. Oh well, guess we have to do half their work for them!

I'm really tempted to go back. But i'll give this digital a second chance. maybe they were bad cause the batteries were low and couldn't generate enough, whatever it is.. to store the image good enough. ANd I'll use my photo editor a bit more and I gues if I have to put more work into it, I will. But I have my 35mm sitting right here waiting for me!

I got mine for christmas last year so it is new, and I have tired all the optional settings like Indoor, Portrait, landscape,night shot, kids and animals - the settings are supposedly to accomodate different light settings and I use them but havent' had any luck. I have even thought that it has so many options to use, that it is so much work when my 35mm just point and shoot and the picture was great! I'll keep working on it tho. I do like to be able to see the pic once taken so I can see if I need to take it again. If it'd only develope like it shows on the camera, I'd be singin' in the rain!

MIne is new from christmas - a Cannon Powershot. Did some reasearch and it said it was rated better than it same competitors. It takes AA and they don't last long. Seems I don't use it much, but constantly changing hte batteries. Someone here said they have LIthium AA and I saw them in the store, but weren't in my budget that day, so I have them in mind to get asap. I hope they last longer!

Guess you have to take the good with the bad, don't we?!!

I had some developed directly without editing and they came out okay, only I would knw the difference. THen I had some more made and the color was not very good. So I spent yesterday taking all fo them and putting them into my photo editor - MIcrosoft Picture IT 2000 - it is a great and easy program to use, but it took me a few hours to get them all in there, edited, named and stored as I need them - that in itself was a drudging nightmare and having to put them in folders and all -maybe I should have done just one called 2008 and put them and those to come in one folder. THen spent the next 3 hours trying to figure how to copy them from hard drive My DOcuments to a disk CD wouldn't take them, so I tried a DVD and probelm after problem! THink I'll go make a grilled cheese and try again this morning!

Yes.. basically with everything. We always have to take the good with the bad:)
I have picture it too, but I also have a lot of other programs that work well for keeping all the pictures.
I think that once we get frustrated taking a break for a grilled cheese is always a good idea:):):)
