does someone know how to tell me the middle duration of a set of batteries ni-mh when the A70 is used with LCD on?

I've taken about 200 max quality pictures, mostly without flash, in two days with four Uniross 2000 mAh bateries.

That sounds approximately what I'm getting with my 1800mA NiMh's

Hi All,

I have read numerous posts from people stating that they wish they had the option of using AA sized instead of NB-2L.

Why? Doesn't Lithium last much longer or is it just a matter of convenience (easier to replace AA)?

What about the mAh would this not be the dominate factor?

Soon to be A70 owner.

the powershot A70 can not use lituim batteries and therefore those to the hydrated ni-mh are the only valid solution to the problem of the autonomy

sorry for my bad english

Yesterday morning I inserted in my A70 5 years old Ni-Cd 0.75ah batteries for testing purposes and made in one hour about 350 shots in auto mode (~90% with flash) with max resolution and min compression.
