I have several of the cheaper digital cameras to have around the house and in the car. I've seen too many family members lose or have the expensive camera stolen, for me to keep up with one that cost more then $50! My pictures look as good as theirs when on the computer and that's all I do with my pictures. The batteries that say for digital camera last a very long time. Kodak rechargeable last longer then the other rechargeable and will work for any camera that takes regular batteries.
