The one thing I really like about Fuji cameras is that they run on "ordinary" batteries namely AA 1.5V. None of these fancy ones which cost more than the camera when they need replacing.
I can use two alkaline AA batteries which is 3V. Or, I can use two rechargeable Ni metal hydride AA batteries but these are only 1.2V each, or 2.4V in total. Can any battery expert tell me how 2.4V still powers the camera - it's 20% less voltage than I get with the alkaline ones.
Another question is how many times can I expect to recharge batteries? I assume that eventually they deteriorate and become unrechargeable. Anyone know a good place to get new rechargeables at a decent price?
