I have a brand new camera that was purchase for me from a top seller on Ebay. There seem to be no issues with the camera.

However, it did come with rechargeable batteries and the charger. I plugged them up last night, put them in camera this morning, took maybe 10 pictures and then they were dead.

I don’t want to jump and try to get in touch with seller. I am very new to this technology and hoped maybe I could get an answer here first.

Thank you for your help.
I should add that at first I was using regular AA batteries and they lasted much longer than these.
The batteries are NI-MH 2000 mAh

All the stuff that didn’t make the final cut. Featuring me bashing up a type writer Basil Fawlty style, a tea break that didn’t go well, and an alternate end credits sequence.

This question has been asked many times, but not recently (technology changes fast!). After having used an analog camera all these years, I will soon purchase my first digital camera. I don’t want or need top of the range, but I don’t want something made out of plastic either. The most important feature I’d be looking for is user-friendliness. Which brands and/or model(s) with, which you have personally had experience, can you recommend?
