Camera batteries dying too fast?

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 digital cameras for around 100 bucks?
Q. Any recommendations for a camera around this price range? One that takes really good pictures, well as good as it gets for that price range. Thanks
Well it sounds like I would be better off saving my money for something better. I do not wanna spend 100 dollars on something that I will be more than likely be unsatisfied with. So I guess my next question is how much is a nice camera that's not outrageously expensive

A. Well, here is my two cents. Don't buy new. Buy from a highly reviewed seller on Ebay and buy Panasonic.
The older cameras (2011-2013) are just as good as any for an amateur photographer. I would suggest
a Lumix Brand DMC-ZS10, ZS19.. or even ZS3 or TZ5, these are nice cameras. Stay away from the thin and lightweight cameras they tend to brake much sooner. Camera shops see less of Lumix Cameras and
is what I suggest. If you want HD Videos then you will need to get a newer model. Hope this helps.
