How many photos will you be taking in one sitting or session? If you are taking lots of photos and want to take several hundred photos then it is worth while investing in a camera with a reliable rechargeable battery.

When considering how many pictures you will be taking, answering this question will also help you look at the type of memory card needed for the device.
