I really dont understand why companies continue to make Digi cameras that use AA batteries instead of a Charger set up.

That being said....I need to buy my sister a Digi Camera can some one recomend a 3-4 megapixel camera that uses a charger instead of Batteries?

Thanks

Huh? Sounds as if you want a camera that you have to plug into the wall...? All prosumer cams I have seen work on batteries.

What I meant was the disposable type of battery that allot of cheaper canon and Nikon come with instead of the rechargable battery (that yes you use the charger that plugs in the wall for)

Canon G3 or G3 comes with the BP-511 rechargeable battery.

Even cameras that use AA batteries can use rechargable NiMH AAs. Most owners do this. Other cameras use rechargable Li and LI ion batteries. I thought you had a special purpose project or something that needed longer connections to power.

A friend of mine just bought a Kodak DX 6490, 4.0MP, P&S that he seems to really like. One of the biggest reasons he chose this model was because it came with a battery charger. He has only had if for about a week now but he seems to like it. Not sure how much you want to spend, but he spent $400 at a local store for his, but you can find them cheaper on the net. I too have Kodak P&S (CX3700 with 3.2MP) that I am very happy with for taking snap shots. (I use my DRebel for more important shots) The CX3700 runs about $125 at Walmart. It uses AA bateries but we picked up a 4pk of rechargables with a one hour charger for it for about $20.
