this camera works great...for about 5 minutes..and the batteries go kaput...i have tried regular AA batteris...rechargables...neither work for longer than a few pictures...and i am on my SECOND camera...HP does have pretty good customer service, they sent me a new camera, BUT...i am having the same problem...waiting on them to send me some photo lithium batteries to see if it works, if it doesnt i am requesting a full refund...what a shame!...great pics, easy to use, just cant be replacing the batteries every 5 minutes!!
