Steve, One trick I did on my last Yosemite trip using cheap Alkalines (one set from Alberton's and one Panasonic set from the 99 cent store) was to just swap out two batteries when my camera quit working. I shot about 150 pictures on the two sets of batteries. Another trick, which I didn't use, is to turn off the screen if you have that option and just use the finder. Not all cameras even have finders anymore and on mine, the finder only shows about 80% of the image, so that may not be practical or even possible, especially when you want to change settings, but sometimes it is an option.

I always carry a spare set of batteries anyway. Plus with my camera, any AA's will do, which I think is a plus.

btw, from what I've seen, the prices on these cameras have come down quite a bit. Here's a good review site for pretty much every digital camera on the planet.
