"Time for my standard battery tirade: I've gotten so many emails about power
issues for digicams, that I'm now inserting this standard notice in the
reviews of all AA-powered cameras on our site: Don't even *think* about
using alkaline AA batteries in a digicam! Despite their being packed in the
box with many cameras, they simply don't have the juice to handle typical
digicam demands. Big kudos to Sony for including a very high capacity set of
AA NiMH cells with the P71, as well as a nice little charger. Do yourself a
favor though, and get a couple of extra sets of high-capacity NiMH AA cells,
and always keep one set charged and ready to go while the other is in the
camera. The Sony batteries appear to be of very good quality, so you could
just get another set or two of them, or try a couple of sets of the new (as
of this writing, in early 2002) Maha 1800 mAh PowerEx brand cells from
Thomas Distributing. (In my battery testing, these new Maha 1800s are
currently running at the top of the chart for useful capacity.) There's
nothing more frustrating than running out of battery power in the middle of
an outing. Spend the money on good-quality batteries and you'll be glad you
did."
