Just read this conclusion on Steve`s Digicam reviews:

..."The 4060 AF`s battery life was acceptable during our tests. Using a pair of AA NiMH 2200 mAh rechargeable batteries, we were able to capture over 100 images with the LCD on before a low battery warning occurred."

BUT HE ALSO SAID:

..."At an MSRP of $249.99, Concord is offering a questionable value in the Eye-Q 4060 AF. The high-resolution 4-megapixel imager can not overcome this camera`s poor focus, outdoor overexposure, and poor color balance. If you`re in the market for an entry-level camera under $250, your needs would be better served by a camera with lower resolution, but a better balance of image quality and features. Consider the recently-reviewed Canon A60, or the Sony Cyber-shot P32."


Make your own mind up! ;o)

Exactly what I was going to say - digital zoom is worthless and should be ignored.
