The GE cameras are pretty good on batteries. You definitely want to use rechargeable ones.

you have two options but both of them revolve around Lithium batteries … you can get cameras that have a large-ish rectangular battery that you need to recharge with a charger or you can buy a camera that uses AA batteries. If you go with one of these, then make sure you buy Lithium AA batteries otherwise you will get about 3 photos out of your average alkaline battery. and buying rechargeable AA Lithium batteries can be a better option if you will have access to powerpoints, if not buy 10 or 15 non rechargeables.
I have a casio exilm and the battery seems to last a long time. plus you can get additional batteries on ebay for like $1.50 or something like that plus a small shipping fee. that way you can have more than one battery charged and ready to go when needed. good luck!
With rechargeable batteries the Canon A590 IS would be a very good choice for a camera not overly draining battery very quick. There is also a lot to do with this camera besides such as its use of shutter/aperture priority.
