EnergizerBunny.jpgUSA Today's Edward C. Baig tried out 3 brands of high end batteries to see which provided the most pictures. He compared Energizer's e2 Lithium, Duracell's new PowerPix and a Panasonic Oxyride Extreme Power (coming this spring).

He says all batteries did well, but the Energizer e2 Lithiums had the most endurance, snapping 752 pictures before giving up. The Duracell PowerPix came in at 341 pics, and the Panasonic Oxyride Extreme powered 353 images.

He also tested regular old Duracell Coppertop batteries, which lasted for 241 images, and Energizer's rechargeable batteries, which took 442 pictures on a single charge.
