Q. I have a GE A950 Digital Camera. I believe I got it on Christmas year 2009 so I've had it for a little over 3 years and it will be going on 4 years on Christmas 2013.
Over the past month, I have been having problems with the batteries dying abnormally fast. I have always used 2 AA Alkaline batteries and it has made the camera last for a very decent amount of times before the batteries fully die. But over the past month, it seems even when I put brand new batteries in my camera, they die within 10 to 15 minutes (they used to last for hours!).
My main question is, would my camera be considered "old" now and it's time for a new one? Or should I maybe try investing in rechargeable batteries first?
I use Energizer brand batteries.

A. If your camera is anything like the mainstream P&S cameras, it is optimized for NiMH batteries.
You can buy low self-discharge NiMH batteries and a charger for under $20 on Amazon
The other problem may be that there is a short in the cameras electronics

Good DSLR camera for Europe?
Q. I will be going to Europe (Paris and Spain) for school next spring break in 2013. I want a good quality DSLR camera for the trip and for later use. It will be a present either for graduating or Christmas so I can go up to $900. Anyone know any good ones?
A. I would recommend the Pentax Kr . This camera comes with a 28-to-55mm lens. And a 50-to-200mm lens when sold in kit form. I highly recommend buying the camera "and" 50-200mm lens together. I purchased the previous model (Kx) which came with only the 28-55mm. And I bought an off brand lens 28-200mm, that was a mistake! So if a DSLR is your hearts desire buy it with both lenses together. It will be cheaper in the long run. My first thought with your question, is does this person really need a Digital Single Lens Reflex or is he just responding to the questions on this forum where some of the "die-hard" pro's recommend DSLR's as the only type of camera to own. So with that in mind let me throw out some thoughts for you to ponder.
1. If you want an excellent camera that takes needle sharp photos, there are many "bridge" cameras that take excellent pictures, but have only one zoom lens which does it all, from close-ups to long telephoto shots. It seems to me it would be easier to tote this type than a camera with extra lenses, and accessories. I am referring to a camera like the Canon Powershot series "SX ?? IS. The current one is the SX40 IS, But previous models may be available used at attractive prices, those models are the SX30IS, the SX20IS, and the SX10IS. Remember these cameras cannot change their lens. You have to be satisfied with the lens that comes with the camera.
Good Luck!
