"horrid battery life"
Pros: inexpensive, compact
Cons: battery life, customer support
Summary: POSITIVES:
Hard to beat the price for a 10+ megapixel camera.
It is nice and compact (much moreso than my last Sony, which cost 10x as much).
It has all the features I need, and it isn't too hard to find them.
NEGATIVES:
New Energizer batteries lasted for less than 12 photos (no flash, minimal zoom, no audio). I replaced them with Duracell Ultras, which lasted for another 20 photos. I've gone through 5 sets of batteries and taken less than 100 photos.
Rechargable batteries aren't much of an option for me, as my main use is to go mountain climbing and take a several hundred photos before I'll be back to a place where I'd be able to recharge batteries.
Another negative is that the manufacturer doesn't respond to emails. I sent them a question about the battery life, and also asked where one could purchase the optional AC adapter. It's been 4 months and I haven't received a reply.
