As long as the camera uses a popular alkaline cell, you can substitute a rechargeable NiMH cell. I bought a recharger and 8 NiMH batteries for my Nikon 950 from an independent vendor on a web site for $34 plus postage. Cheap, when you compare it to how fast the alkaline gets exhausted. I always carry one extra set of 4 fully charged batteries. I find that the NiMH cells I'm using actually will take more shots on a single charge than alkaline cells. The two biggest consumers of power in the camera are the LCD display and the flash. Outdoors without flash allows me to make about 20 to 30 photos on a single charge. That goes down to about 15 if I am using a flash. If I'm using the highest resolution setting, that also reduces the total number of photos on a single charge because of the extensive time for writing the image to the flash card (during which time the liquid crystal display remains on).
