I have had a lot of success using rechargable batteries, I had the same 
problem with my digital camera, batteries would last for a few 
pictures.  I purchased rechargable NI-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) 
batteries, 2500mAh strength and they work great.  I also put them in my 
GPS with similar results. You can get them with the charger at different 
locations - I bought the charger with 2 batteries at Ace Hardware on 
sale for $10.00  I have seen similar sales elsewhere or you can check 
eBay.
