I think it depends if the person doesn't turn the camera off, the batteries drain faster

Battery killer, if you're going to use this camera, have rechargeable batteries.

These take batteries and they die fast.

The 2 AA battery drain pretty quickly and if you didn't bring back up batteries your out of luck

" Replaced batteries...still would not work

I’ll go broke keeping batteries in it.

I returned the camera after a few days as I didn't want to waste so many batteries.

true, it does sap the AA batteries pretty quick, however for my

the batteries will die without fail-Construction is questionable, while there are no obvious defects the camera feels extremely lightweight and flimsy

Complete junk, new batteries die 1 hour after use, tried several new batteries and different brands, stay away.

A pair of rechargeable AA batteries or a pack of batteries should suffice - as opposed to lithium ion batteries that degrade over time and become difficult to replace

Takes bad pics, kills batteries in about two hours

Also drained batteries in 20 minutes

Would take 5-10 photos before saying dead batteries

It takes good pictures when you have fresh batteries, but as soon as you let it sit, it drains and becomes an expensive paperweight

No worrying about charging it or searching for that Kodak KLIC-7006 battery

She tried using the camera a couple weeks later and again, dead batteries

The picture quality is poor and the gobble up batteries

Also came with a bad rechargeable battery

Possibly this camera is less efficient than it should be, but alkaline batteries are generally not great for cameras because the zoom/focus and image processing actually use a lot of power even if only for a second or two

it worked for about 5 minutes and the batteries went dead.

Got got it for my son for Christmas morning and it wouldn't turn on with fresh batteries

Even with the camera turned off, the batteries still die in a day or two.

She tried using the camera a week later and the batteries were completely dead

Alkaline batteries are terrible for fast draining, even only in short bursts like that

Brand new fresh batteries last long enough for maybe 5 pictures

However, it kills batteries incredibly fast (no matter what kind of batteries I use)

The replacement new batteries would not work (off brand batteries).

Uses two AA batteries and works well, except it always has the flash on when started.

(and yes, I tried using really good quality batteries)

Just two new ones will last one night, by next day the batteries are dead.

The batteries die fast

Pictures are decent and batteries last about a day as expected.

yes the price is low but it drain batteries like crazy

However, it kills batteries incredibly fast (no matter what kind of batteries I use)

The battery died and it was unable to be charged

yes the price is low but it drain batteries like crazy

I put fresh batteries into the camera at the beginning of a 50 minute period

The batteries that came with the camera went dead right away.

If putting in new fresh battery

You'll get a few hours use from fresh AA batteries

battery charge issues as in many reviews,,,,,cant recommend
