Digital camera Review: Battery Life and Blurry Image Myths Debunked
Summary: 5 Stars
Using 2700 mhr rechargeable Sanyo batteries I've had absolutely no problem with battery life, and recycle time between flash photos is 3 seconds. It is well known that the typical alkaline battery isn't well suited for digital cameras as Consumer Reports has documented. That is likely the cause of the so called short battery life some users have reported.
As for image shake - read the instruction book and you'll have no problems. The camera needs some time to compensate so don't just push the button down in one motion. It needs to be first pushed halfway which triggers the stablization and image evaluation. If the camera determines it can't take an image without blurring it will give you a icon indication to change parameters to avoid blurring. Otherwise it will compensate.
After having this camera for several months I'm still discovering new things it can do. For the price it is an incredible buy. Don't let the naysayers regarding battery life, image shake and so called problems with closing the battery door discourage you. The door just doesn't snap shut, it needs to first closed then move the locking tab.
Read the instructions and you should have no problem. However, I must admit it will take several hours of reading to fully understand what this camera can do.

Digital camera Review: Battery died so fast, very disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I decided to buy another canon, because my previous A95 is really good.
A brand new battery died within 2 hours, camera refused to take any picture, I only took 10 pictures and 15 minutes movies.
So I tried my 2500mA rechargable betteries, it report change bettery again, but the same rechargable battery works very well and last long on one my old camera.
More over, I ordered a new one, but received it in a broken box, like a used one or returned one.
I am going to return it.
Digital camera Review: Battery life sucks - need rechargeable batteries
Summary: 2 Stars
We traded from a Nikon with a charger that had a pretty long battery life to this one that uses AA batteries. I thought that I saw reviews that said the battery life was pretty good, but we have gone through 3 or 4 pairs already in a month and a half and don't even use it that much. We went through one pair in just one trip to the Wild Animal Park and we probably only took about 40 pics. I'm going to research rechargeable batteries so that we don't have to add a separate line item to the budget for batteries each month.Digital camera Review: Battery sensor bad
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this camera for all the obvious features. It's a good camera, but it will very quickly give a light that says the batteries are low, then it will keep taking pictures a while. It was sent back to the factory, and was not fixed. Same problem. Just wanted to report this. Not happy with this particular camera.Digital camera Review: Best Buy
Summary: 4 Stars
The camera is very nice. Especially the video it takes has got a very good quality. Nice compact. Not used much although but I liked the product very much. For under 150 bucks its a best buy.
