Rechargable cell batteries are much better

Hello

I realy dont like the idea of using Batteries

On the other hand we have so much options in using Cell batteries , easy to replace with anykind of cell , You can purchase disposeable cell if you are travelling where we get little time to stay and CHARGE

I don't know if this is just spam or not, but I'll bite:

While I love the LSD Ni-MH batteries, I don't actually see much of a benefit for use in the camera. If you're using your camera with any frequency then there's no benefit to the low self-discharge; especially in the situation you mention - travel. Nor do I see any benefit to charging. All batteries need to be recharged, including the human battery... so I simply charge my battery while I'm charging mine (sleeping). My camera battery charges much faster than my LSD Ni-MH. That is, I slow-charge my LSD batteries. My Canon camera battery charger is done in a few hours. The only main benefit I see to standard cells is that you can get them anywhere, so having a camera that takes them can be nice in a pinch.

Edit: Also, I see that this is in the Powershot forum. So I suppose it would be nice to have LSD batteries in my point and shoot since it spends most its life in the drawer. That is, until I travel...

Plenty of SOLAR power in Pakistan.

Now, how do I "insert" those batteries into my XS50?
