Energizer Lithium Batteries last a loooong time.
I dumped my NiMH rechargables after trying the AA Lithium Batteries.
Google the web for the lowest price.....Low price vendor changes daily.

IMHO lithium.

No email. Sorry about that. But you wouldn't have been able to
be emailed with a good answer because you didn't provide enough
information. It would help if you identify your camera model (Canon
alone isn't enough) as well as your shooting style. How many
pictures do you take per year? How many of those use the camera's
flash? There are basically six types of batteries to choose from.

1. Standard alkaline.
2. Premium types, including Oxyride.
3. Lithium.
4. Standard NiMH
5. Low self-discharge NiMH (Eneloop, Hybrid, Hybrio, etc.)
6. NiCd

The most practical choices would be 1, 3, 4 and 5. Which one is
best for you can't be determined until you provide more information.
Because I shoot a relatively small number of pictures using my Canon
Powershot (I have several cameras), and don't often use its flash, I
could get away with using standard, cheap alkalines, because one set
of them (less than a dollar's worth) should last me at least a year,
probably more. I generally use NiMH batteries in it though, only
because I already had them when I bought the Powershot. But this
may not be your shooting style, so different types of AA batteries
may be more suitable for your camera. Temperature can also be a
factor, particularly if you use the camera in either cold or
extremely cold temperature. Alkalines don't particularly like cold
weather, so you'd want to use NiMH types 4 or 5. In extremely cold
weather, when NiMH wouldn't do very well, lithium AA batteries would
be ideal. They'll work at temperatures that are colder than you or
your camera are likely to tolerate, down to 40º below zero.

I saw that Tigerdirect.com is selling their brand-name batteries by
the box of 100. That should last you a while.

For life, I don't know. I tend to use Duracells and throw them out
when they're about 25% discharged, I think. That's when they start to
slow down a bit in the flash. It usually isn't a matter of discharge,
it's a matter of overheating. Those babies get warm when you're using
them.

I find Panasonic Oxyride give excellent performance in my Canon S3IS.

Oh wait, sorry about that. Ignore the above information. I was
thinking of something completely different. You should get advice from
someone that actually knows what they are talking about. I just like
to pretend to know what I'm talking about. It makes me feel important
and needed, because nobody needs me in real life. I can't help it.
I've always been this way.

Again, sorry!

E-mailing defeats the best part of newsgroups. Sharing information and
being able to build on others answers and questions is the way it works
best.

If you read the replies that have already been made to your question you
will see what I mean. In addition there are questions for you that will help
responders to offer better suggestions. It really needs to be a two way
(you and the group) exchange.

Frankly it has been my experience that rechargeable batteries often
provide longer life with a single charge than single use batteries with some
applications.

Why don't you like rechargables? They're the best! You can still buy
non-rechargeables in an emergency.

I'm going to have to change the news-reader that I use so everyone
will know who the REAL ASAAR is!

Or are you Mr. Elf? Please don't be Mr. Elf. I don't want to get
locked-up again.

As others have mentioned, Energizer Lithium AA's.

I carry a pair of the Energizer Lithium AA's as backup
in case I run thru my main batteries.

For my Canon A710 IS. I normally use a set of rechargeables.
I have both Targus and Energizer rechargeables and
the Targus seem to last longer. On a recent trip thru
Yorkshire, I got about 340 shots from 1 set of the
freshly-charged Targus batteries. Now, I use ONLY the
optical viewfinder and have the LCD set OFF.
