Battery usage for HP215

Shutterbug Strasse

A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

I just bought an HP215, and after about 30 shots, the brand new AA batteries are Dead!
These are Fresh eveready ones too!
We are talking 30 pictures with flash, over a 10 min period, and dead batteries.
It has been sugessted that I get rechargables. With the 1.2 instread of 1.5 volts....looks like they would die even faster!
If this is what the major expense of digital cameras is, well it is not what I had hoped for. Great little camera, but jeeeze...the Drain!!!
Let me know your thoughts...and if you think this is normal.
