I ran a photo lab for 23 years, and generally have found Fuji cameras excellent (along with panasonic/Lumix) BUT - they did have a major cock-up with the XD card format (developed with olympus) but they have now abandoned xd
Fuji (and other) Digital cameras generally do not like rechargable AA batteries, - they need at least 1.4 volts a cell, and rechargables can run at 1.2v

you saying the re-chargeable's cant be used in the camera ?.... surely that's not whats knackering up these Fuji cameras ?
yet shop "recommends" rechargeable battery's for it
if i have to buy "ordinary battery's" for this thing, this could work out expensive :rolleyes: .
anyhoo.....
got "ANOTHER FUJI" today, i know, i know...i hear you all lol....:rolleyes:
got the finepix s4400 bridge this time. its a couple of models up from the last two.....maybe the entry model is just pants, hence why i went up 2/3 models to see if it makes any difference....prob not lol
also took our there 3yr "anything goes wrong" bring it back and swap for another there and then warranty.
cost £35, but its worth it if this is the way these dam cameras are gonna last :rolleyes:.
like i said earlier, i love my gadgets and look after them, but these probs with this make of camera was/is getting kinda annoying. Heres hoping 3rd time the charm....or luck, or whats ever
you mst be a millioner to afford keeping two systems
