Hi Sriniram,

i came to know about you from Jace, got to know you have Cannon S1 IS. i have recently bought the same. i see that it drains lot of battery.
how are you managing? do you have recharable batteries, if so which one?
any info will be of help

thanks in advance

Yes, thankfully I knew the batteries would drain rapidly before I bought the camera. I use rechargeable 2100 mAh NiMH batteries from Kodak - on full charge it runs for about 500 pictures w/o flash.

I think I paid about $80 for a set of 8 batteries and a Kodak NiMH charger - not the cheapest price, but nevertheless it's working very well for me.

thanks for the info i think i will go for such a thing. planning for duracell

[sriniram.livejournal.com]

Sure. BTW, let me know if you need 4 of my Kodak batteries. I bought 8 of them hoping to have a spare set of 4 fully charged batteries on hand always. I never expected a set of batteries to need charging only every few hundred shots or so.

The 4 batteries have never been used - I've only removed them from the plastic packing.

Or actually on the other hand it might be cost a lot more in shipping :-) I'll find someone closer :-)

:( i bought the stuff yesterday evening....thanks for the offer

No sweat, so was it Duracell ? There are other no-name brands on the Internet that are supposed to be just as good and much cheaper. I didn't have the time, and the Kodak units were the only one in store for pickup.

yes duracell, 2023mamps, but was 2k with 4 batteries and charger. 1 hour charge. since it was duracell, i went for it.
