No it's not just strong language, it's rude. You just called Dave, myself and I'm sure quite a few others braindead. As I told Deb in one of the above post, I carry several batteries and have shot pics and video all day and never run out. I seriously doubt I will ever be in a location were I will not have access to an outlet to recharge at the end of the day. I am more worried about the camera malfunctioning than the batteries.

I apologize for giving offense. And I know that my opinion is in the minority. I've had plenty of experiences in which I've not had access to an outlet - or not had a reliable adapter (fried a power supply on a laptop with some sketchy Slovenian power). And have stayed in plenty of places with no power at all while traveling. Heck, if I could find a phone that took rechargable AAAs, I'd buy it.

Perhaps I should have said that given my experiences...and seeing many, many others go dark...I'd be braindead (given what I know) to not have a camera that has the option of using readily-available batteries.
