This may be a dumb question, but, my AA rechargeable batteries only give my camera about a dozen shots before they're done and need to be recharged again. My Minolta Dimage s414 uses four Ni-MH batteries. Do I need to replace the batteries, the charger and the batteries, or is the camera just a power hog? If it is simply the batteries/charger (please!) then how many shots should I expect with fresh batteries installed?

Probably the batteries. How old are they?

Edit: According to this review, you should get about 160 shots, with the LCD on.

Don't know the age of the batteries, but they are hand-me-downs, so probably several years. I suspected and hoped it was just the batteries, and you've reassured me.
Thanks for your help jv! And thanks for the link, too.

AA NiMH batteries are cheap on ebay....I just got 4 2500mah for $6 shipped.

I also got 8 generic AA 2600mah and 8 generic AAA's from Hong Kong and so far they seem to work well especially considering it was $12.30 for all of them with shipping included.

If you're worried about the generics, you can get some great name brand nimh's at www.Thomas-Distributing.com
