does it take regular AA batteries?

It does take regular AA batteries however I've found the camera works best with Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries. If you use regular AA batteries they will be drained in a very short time. (Less than 50 pics or so) I normally keep regular AA's as spares if I'm out somewhere where I don't have time to recharge my LI batteries.

yes. but found after buying unit, batteries do not last, no matter what you use. buy a stock load of them. :-(

After reading (doing my own research from previous owners) I followed their advise:a) Regular AA batteries work but are short lived; so I did what was recommended by other users: Energizer lithium AA.b) Many people complain that the camera is slow; so I followed their advise on this also: Scan Disk Exteme Class 10.I recently went on a trip to Italy and had no trouble at all taking pictures!

Yes this camera takes regular AA batteries. However, it is a 'high drain device' which means that even the best batteries won't last long. I highly recommend a set of rechargeable AA batteries. In stores you can commonly find these at the 1500 level but I recommend going as high as you can. Amazon has 3100 capacity rechargeable AA batteries. They come with a wall plug, car adapter and European plug option so you won't be left hanging. These batteries also recharge quickly. Normal batteries will cost you a bundle for this camera.

I highly recommend a set of rechargeable AA batteries, such as 3100 capacity (find it on Amazon because the ones in stores are generally 1500 capacity). They recharge quickly and last longer on this device.

We use AA batteries in it, but only while the regular batteries are charging. As others have stated, the AA batteries are rapidly depleted, so are really only worthwhile as backup.

Yes it does take regular AA batteries.. which I feel personally is a great option when you are on an outing..just buy a bundle of batteries and forget about the battery coming down.. you always have stock with you!...the normal one the square batteries which you need to re-charge it always is not a good one when you are in a place where there are no plug-ins!..Overall for the money we spend.. it is a great stuff..

We have been using Duracell AA rechargeable batteries in this camera. Been using the camera on vacations with no issues. A great buy for the money.

Yes, it takes AA batteries. The only bad thing was that the flash stopped working immediately. I still use it, but only in good light.

No it does not. This is the base model without the accessories. It does come with some no name brand AA batteries to get your started though.

No. It takes AAs. They last a long time, though. I use this regularly (daily) and I probably change the batteries once a year.

Yes, it takes 2 regular batteries. I have found that the best batteries are the 'lithium' batteries. They last the longest.

AA batteries come with it. Purchasing a rechargeable battery pack is optional.

It takes 4 AA batteries. It does not have built-in or rechargeable battery. However, it works well, regardless.

NO it does not use regular batteries, it uses a non-removable internal battery which is charged with a micro USB phone charger or the pc, if you connect it to a micro USB 1000 Microampere takes full charge in 5 hours charger.

This camera take AA batteries, but I would not buy one. The one I bought did not work and their return policy is horrible and so I am just out the money and had to buy a different camera.

No it does not come with AA batteries and AC charger, you have to buy them and put the batteries into the battery pack.

Yes, there are back up batteries in the base unit. I believe it takes four AA's.

NO !!! You need the 18650 batteries. The regular AA batteries won't work, they are too small lengthwise and will not work.
