When I use it at home to take pictures of meteorites, I use the AC adapter, so it can be on for hours, and the close-up zoom works great. Last year I really gave my Nikon Coolpix a good test: 2 weeks in Uzbekistan. I took 2 sets of the new AA batteries for electronic equipment (with a blue stripe). I took well over 300 pictures, and every evening I looked at them on the viewer and deleted the bad ones. I used the flash, everything, and when I got home the second set was still going strong. Not bad for regular, but high-end batteries! When it comes to cameras, I agree with Geoff, I have always used Nikons, I still have the huge heavy SLR I used before, clanky but effective.
