these are down to around $330 now and I'm hoping even less by christmas which seems pretty good.

but I'm still worried about the batterys.

how long do they last?

is there a souce for non cannon brand batterys for less? $50 or so is freaking expensive for a battery. and I'll probably need a few of them. so I can go camping for a week (no power) and not run out.

also, is the only way to charge them, to take the batterys out and put them in the charger? or does it charge through the USB port as well?

I'd much prefer to have an AA camera, but none of them are small...

what does the 730 have that the 600 doesn't? 1x more zoom, and stability. for like $150 more?

the 630 is out because it doesn't have the hole to look through. I never take pics using the screen. (I can probably turn it off and it'll save batterys right??)
