The 850 is the second of the ‘new generation’ of HP digital cameras and marks an improvement in both image quality and feature set since the 812. In our review the 850 is compared to the current king of the four megapixel class, the Canon PowerShot G3. Come in and see how the 850 performed in our tests.”

Maybe I'm just spoiled, the idea of using AA batteries for a camera just doesn't appeal to me. I'll keep my infoLithum rechargable battery and memory stick. The price looks right, and the pictures were ok, but not enough to tempt me to plunk down $499 US.

Is that the kind of price range that you're looking at Sue? Are you considering a new camera at the moment?
What about everyone else? I'm just wondering what you're all interested in so that I include the right kind of content on the site.

I already have two cameras, one with 4.1 mega pixels, and the other with 3.3.
I'm looking to get a higher end camera, but not until later this year. I'm not sure what it will be, but a digital SLR is what I'd like to have.

So which DSLR would you go for?! Have you got a film SLR with lenses, or would you be buying an entirely new system/lenses etc?

AA batteries are actually quite a sensible choice. 2000mAH rechargeables are now easily available and improvement in power consumption means there is no problem with battery life in the latest cameras. It also means that if you are left with a set of dead batteries, you can use an emergency set if AA Ultra alkalines for continued shooting.

My Minolta Dimage 5 takes AA batteries, although it does tend to eat through them quite quickly. So I carry 3 sets of 4 batteries just in case
