Thumbs up Lithium Batteries

I had asked about batteries (double a's) for my digital camera before. Lithium batteries were one of the suggestions as were rechargeable batteries.
Well, I decided to go with the lithium batteries and for our April trip, I took nearly 400 pictures and had to only change the batteries once! and that wasn't until I think the 5th day we were there Compare that to in 2003 when I must have gone through at least 10 batteries

So, thank you to all of you who had suggestions - lithium batteries have changed my digital camera life - I'll never go back to 'regular' for a camera .

I don't use anything but lithiums now. Last year, even though they were pricey, Lenny bought me a set for Disney - I went through those and he bought me another set in Animal Kingdom (ouch!!) for the rest of the vacation. I personally took something like 1600 pictures the whole vacation (13 days worth - 5 travel and 8 in Disney) and I loved how long they lasted. This year, instead of getting stuck buying them on vacation, I went to Ebay and got 16 brand new lithiums for only 18 bucks!!! So now I'm all set for the next few months of picture taking.

We have used lithium batteries for a while now in our point and shoot and wouldn't go back either. We always take extras only to WDW as we found the prices for them there very high.
