if using in very cold weather, esp in freezing conditions or < 5 deg, advisable to get lithium or lithium rechargeable batteries.. normal akaline batteries die very fast in cold weather..
AA battery-operated one is good & bad..
Good is easy to get spare batteries.. Bad is that you need to pay more for each shot.. can cost some money if you take a lot of pictures
Good compromise is to buy AA rechargeable batteries (if you take a lot of pictures)..
