Whats the best digital camera do you think?

I have a digital camera, but it eats up the battery like a mother...and I want something that isn't too bulky and has good pixel quality and the battery will last for at least a week or so. Any help would be great.

I'm a Canon guy. If you cant have or dont want a Canon, Nikon is just as good. Based on what you're describing youre actually looking for 2 different cameras. First good pixel quality isnt really going to come in a small point-and-shoot due to the small size of the sensor. The battery life that you discuss is really that of a DSLR camera, whose battery life will last a long time. The problem is that you describe (size-wise) a point-and-shoot camera.

You're going to have to settle for some trade-offs here. the Nikon Coolpix series takes great pictures and is compact.

I have both a Nikon Coolpix as well as a Canon DSLR camera and use them both for different purposes. Tip for extended battery life in point-and-shoot --> if you can turn the monitor off, that will help preserve battery life (dont walk around sizing up the picture in the monitor, stick your eye up to the camera).

mine is a samsung digimax420.
it dosent do to bad with the batteries , its compact , so its easy to carry , comes with alot of features , and is idiot proof !!
every picture ive taken with it comes out great .

I have a Kodak easyshare but with many digital camera's they all eat batteries. What I did when I noticed this was I bought a battery charger and specific batteries for digital camera's.

if u r looking for a high quality digital camera , superzoom & sturdily made your choice would undoubtedly be Nikon Coolpix 8800VR .the best quality u can ever get. but if u r lookin 4 somethin 4 it`s longlife battery & compact enough 2 go into your pocket u`d better look for among Casio`s especially Z-750.

good luck
