can normal AA batteries be in this camera

No. It comes with it's own battery and charger. If you travel a lot or tend to lose things (like me) buy an extra battery and an extra charger before they stop making them for that camera. Otherwise it takes good pics and lasts forever.

No, AA batteries will not work. The camera comes with a battery pack and charger. Hope that helps!

Regular Lithium Ion batteries might be ok, but I would check with Canon first; they don't mention those in their manual and definitely do not use rechargeable Lithium ion batteries in this camera unless Canon says it's ok to do so. I was looking at a Nikon camera where they specifically mentioned that you can use regular Lithium ion batteries but not rechargeable Lithium ion batteries.

I've left them at a friend's and can't check but, yes, it is a common battery type. Just not sure if is is AA or AAA. I carry both in my camera bag.

Yes you can. The first or main battery is in the body of the camera, this houses the second battery OR 6 AA batteries. If no battery is in it, the camera and battery grip controls still function.

Just regular AA but you could buy lithium or rechargeable batteries as long as you have a charger for them.

You cannot use AA batteries in this camera. It uses a 3.6V 1520mAh 5.5Wh lithium battery.

you can run 4AA or 8AA batteries to take pictures but they say to have 8 in for video mode and the batteries last a long time with this camera

The camera uses four AA batteries. I use rechargable AA batteries in my camera, and they work great.

Yes, it comes with two AA batteries. I would warn you that it eats batteries up! That is why I sent mine back. Excellent camera, but I prefer to be able to plug it in to recharge instead of constantly buying batteries.

Yes. It will take regular aa or rechargeable. Depending on how many pictures you are going to take, it's worth the small investment for the rechargeable batteries.

You can use AA rechargable batteries in this camera, or just regular AA. I only use it for a few at a time, so I am not sure I can comment about 100 in a day. Hope this is helpful

AA Only. At first I didn't like this feature, but I use rechargeable AA batteries for a lot of things (Wii, etc), so it's helpful to be able to throw a set of freshly charged AA batteries in with the camera in case I need them.

No, not as the camera is designed. A savvy electronics technician could rig an external power supply using disposable batteries (lithium or alkaline), but it would cost more than the camera, and really not be worth the trouble. Both Nikon and Canon make point-and-shoot cameras powered by AA alkalines, although none with an f/1.8 or f/2 lens.

A question ??? Does this camera use AA batteries which I want ? Is this camera the same size as the ie A1400 camera??? That one I ordered and I am sending it back as it is way too small for my old ,shaking hands. Camera did not seem sturdy.Thank you. I do want a camera that uses aa batteries..know of any a bit larger than this camera?

There is a "Pentax" camera strap but no AA battery adapter. The kit does include a Pentax rechargeable battery & charger which can provide plenty of power for a photo or video shoot.

You can used two Canon camera battery batteries, or you use an adapter battery tray that takes AA batteries.
