Remember the old film cameras--everybody got careless once in a while and ran out of film! Annoying? To say the least. With today's electronics, especially memory cards holding a hundred digital pictures or more, that isn't likely. But digital cameras can suck the juice out of camera batteries faster than a marathon runner chugs water in July! You are going to need extra batteries and, like everything else, you want to save money, so buy them at Overstock.com.

Camera batteries are the most important camera accessories. You can buy the throw-away type; a camera battery isn't that expensive, until you've bought forty or fifty. A rechargeable camera battery is, in the long run, a wiser purchase. Lithium-ion (LI-ion) and Nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) are the rechargeable batteries of choice for most consumer electronics. Both hold their charge well and recharge quickly. One caution, a few digital cameras have a custom battery pack so, before you buy, check what type of batteries your camera will need, and choose accordingly.

How long will digital camera batteries last? That depends on individual use. An automatic digital camera (also called a "point-n-shoot") uses more power because it does more work. An external camera flash also needs extra juice. If your camera comes with an AC adapter, you can plug it in and power the camera from the wall outlet when downloading digital pictures and extend the batteries' lives.

By the way, now that you have all those great shots, what to do with them? Show them off! Digital picture frames can store and display hundred of digital pictures on a mini-TV screen. Many are AC/DC capable, so you can run them on batteries if a wall plug isn't handy. When you drop by Overstock.com, pick up all the batteries you need for your digital camera and all its accessories.
