Question: Can you use rechargeable batteries on this camera?  If so, any particular type?  Thanks!
Document: My brother has always used Pentax camera equipment. He was very particular in what he used. I like this camera very much. I must agree with other reviewers about the door to the batteries and Memory Card. I wish the door was easier to open and close. Seems kind of flimsy, but overall, real nice camera. Thanks.
I have a Sony h55 point and shoot that has many of the settings and manual abilities of the x5 but I wanted better without going full blown dslr. While purchasing a Nikon p&s; with and for my wife at Target the x5 caught my eye. After reading tons of reviews, both pro and amateur, I decided to give it a try. Due to an error on their website and Targets willingness to price match their website I got it for $190 after my Red Card discount.I've had it for about a week, have taken about 400 throw away type photos and about half an hour of video using Duracell Nimh rechargeable batteries and a Transcend Wi-Fi 32gb class 10 card.I've tried out just about every scenario I can think of and changed a bunch of things around just to see what it's capable of.Battery life.Using the rechargeable batteries and Wi-Fi card and wirelessly sending everything to other devices has used about half of the battery life which I have found amazingly better than the Sony.Ease of use and ergonomics.I have big clunky hands and am used to a much smaller camera so it took several dozen shots to get the hang of not holding it like the Sony to get the best and fastest usage of the buttons.
I use rechargeable AA batteries and they last a long time. The only potential downer for this camera might be that the camera is not a pocket camera - has a decent lens on it - sort of mid-way in size between a DSLR and a pocket camera.
For me, this is all I will need for a long time. Oddly, I enjoy the fact that it uses AA batteries...I've had troubles in the past with chargers for proprietary lithium batteries getting lost, and then you're out of luck. I just use rechargeable AA batteries, and then switch them out as needed. Bottom line...I don't think you're going to find a better camera for this price. Two thumbs up!
I was looking for a small point and shoot with a viewfinder. I am a Nikon person but thought this might work for a throw-in-the-bag for quick stuff. But I was not impressed. I did not like having to use separate batteries as opposed to the rechargeable battery packs. It doesn't say anything bad about the camera, my mistake for not researching further, just not what I was looking for.But customer service was quick as far as my return...no questions asked.
Even better than I expected. Especially like the macro settings, great for extreme close ups. The editing software is more versatile than Kodak. Definitely go for rechargeable batteries because it takes 4 AA's, the good news is the camera is kind on the power so those batteries will keep you running for days. Overall very pleased, it's not rugged, I'm pretty sure a couple good bounces off the ground and it would be toast, but I use it to photograph jewelry, clothing and assorted stuff for eBay. It's nice to switch to the viewfinder to take pics outside without shooting blind because the large screen looses its charm in the bright sunlight, nice to have the option.
The macro mode is very sufficient and produces sharp, up-close images. The interface was very easy to figure out after I played around with it for a while. The viewfinder is great for sunny days but if your taking shots that are really close to you, I suggest you use the 3 inch LCD (Which is very impressive might I say). One flaw was the use of FOUR AA batteries. The Lithium Ion battery used in most Point-and-Shoot cameras is much easier than using rechargeable batteries.
Battery doors seem to be the first thing to break.No printed legend to identify how to install the 4 batteries.Four $$$ batteries. A rechargeable pack would be sweet!Buttons, Buttons, Buttons - There are tooo many buttons on this camera. It even has a Green Button!Pullout tilting LCD screen... Could have lived without that. Looks like another thing to breakManual Flash popup button. I liked having it popup when needed.Well that is about it for now. Will update some more later.Blessings,John 20:29
The battery compartment latch is very, very, very flimsy. I have had another camera with a similar latch, and it broke. This camera requires four batteries. Other equally good cameras require only two batteries with the same ability to hold the charge and take numerous pictures over time. Be prepared to purchase several quads of rechargeable batteries to feed the camera. It is slow to obtain an initial image (missed that picture! ); the zoom is very jerky (slight touch zooms rapidly in or out). And most frustrating, the focus on face feature randomly seizes on objects not wanted to be in focus.
We bought a Pentax camera about 15 years ago and loved it. Since then the pixels on digital cameras have increased so we wanted to upgrade. Took this one on vacation. Easy to use; great for quick capture movies and can take nearly any type of picture. So excited about this camera, thinking about taking a photograpghy class.
Answer: Yes, any type.
