Camera choice help

[webmonkeyuk]

Im looking for a small compact camera but im trying to find one that doesnt use AA for power as i want something that will last a few hours of shooting, i had a HP one a few years ago and it was really poor it managed about 15min of use before the batteries died needs to be 3million pixels or more and no more than £200.

Cheers

Dunno about compacts with rechargeable battery packs but if you get rechargeable NiMH batteries rated over 2000mAh (2300 and over) you will find they last much much longer than your normal AA alkaline jobbies.

Sony Cybershot DSC-W5S 5.1 Megapixel Camera £176.19 from OcUK, seems like a pretty good camera to me, can anybody recommend?
