I have a fairly old and pretty basic Olympus Digital Camera (I'm a Fogey and still use my 'traditional' Olympus OM SLR kit - served me well when I worked for the magazines and I'm reluctant to ditch it). Anyway, back to the digital box of tricks - it takes 2 x AA batteries which seem to last all of 5 minutes or 10 - 11 pics!

So, I have some questions.

A) Is this usual for AA equipped digital cameras?

B) What are the best batteries to use?

C) If I dive into the shoebox under the bed and buy a new digital camera is there a preferred type of battery power to plump for as one of the considerations when choosing what to buy?
