Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock 6000 review
Reviews Overall, this 6000 is easy to use, and we like that it conveniently doubles as a recharger for your camera's batteries. While we wish it ran on batteries for truly mobile operation, this photo printer is compact enough to take on jaunts away from...

Canon PowerShot A580 review
Reviews It has a £100 price tag, cheerful styling and runs off AA batteries: all of which make it a family or novice-friendly digital snapper. It seemed happy to snap away indefinitely at just over one frame per second, but our gratification at this was...

What are my choices?
Reviews The Roberts Gemini 11 can run off six D-size batteries Although the mains/battery models can be run off size C or size D batteries, you'll only want to do this in emergencies. Most are about the size of a pack of cards and run off AA batteries...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS80 review
Reviews It measures about 31mm deep and weighs just 177g with SD card and batteries. The extra 5mm it sports over slimmer compacts lets the LS80 take AA batteries, which are generally more convenient and readily available than the proprietary rechargeable...

Canon PowerShot A650 IS review
Reviews DesignAt 386g with four AA batteries, the A650 IS weighs in as one of the heftiest 'point-and-shoot' cameras we've yet seen. The batteries that power the camera sit inside a prominent, deep grip that feels good even in large hands.

Olympus FE-180 review
Reviews The batteries come with a separate charger and even come precharged so that you can start shooting as soon as you take the camera out of the box. The right half of the camera is fatter than the left half to make room for two included rechargeable...

Genius G-Shot DV1210 review
Reviews It's pretty light, even when loaded up with AA batteries. You have the option to use the included li-ion battery, or replace it with easily-available AA batteries should the juice run out halfway through shooting.

Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd review
Reviews One-handed shooting is possible, although the AA batteries make it heavier than it looks. We had no complaints about battery life, bearing in mind that the S1000fd is powered by AA batteries. We didn't have to change the batteries in a week of use...
