Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Gateway DC-M42 4.0 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: Stop Bashing the lack of battery power!
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera will not work witn many batteries. Don't even bother trying to use regular batteries. But if you use Ni-MH batteries, especially Radio Shacks new 15 minute charge ones that are 2000mAh, this camera will keep on shooting for a very long time. Also, if you get the charger, they actually charge in 15 minutes. Anyways, overall, i really like this camera, and i have been taking pictures of EVERYTHING. With these batteries, always using the flash, this camera will push 100 pictures before changing batteries. The pictures come out great most of the time, and it's very easy to use. Overall, i reccomend it.Customer Review: A camera you will be proud to own!

I love my Gateway camera. I get at least 70 pics out of mine before any battery warning comes up. But, I first feel compelled to make a comment on the battery use of this camera. I have owned the HP (and others) 3.3 MP cameras and they too used up battery power. Such as it is with these digital camera's. But only after 50, 60, 70 or more shots were taken. Now, I was not letting everything stay on to see if I can burn 'em up faster. Yes, like any other camera which uses only two AA's as power you will have to replace that power a little more frequently. Depending on what kind of pics you are taking. THIS IS NORMAL!!! Do not pass up on this fine camera because of this.Now on the camera itself. I really am enjoying this camera. It is very quick to shoot and all the menues are easy to understand and perform. (Try the HP version and you will see what I mean!) This is the perfect camera for all us 'snapshot artists' out there that would like to make some really fine shots and not carry a big expensive piece of equipment with us that we can't put into our pockets. It has all of the features of it's competitors and with the 4.1 MP power it really does make fine foto's you can print to any size or send them over the web on email. Again, I am really enjoying mine and would recommend it to anyone. Again also, I carry enough rechargeables with me so 'power' is not a problem and have a 256 MB SD memory chip in it so's I can keep on shoot'n and not run out of space.
Try this one. I don't think you will be disappointed!
Customer Review: Never even think about this one

Worst of allHave to have a dead man pulse to use this camera.
With fully charged batteries (2xAA) you can take about 10 pictures.
When I returned it to gateway, they charged me 10% of selling price (they should pay us to use their camera).
Customer Review: No battery power
Summary: 2 Stars
This camera doesn't hold battery power at all. I placed new energizer batteries in and it displayed "low battery" after less than 10 pics were taken. This continued through multiple batteries of different brands. Turns out even the rechargeable batteries included in the accessory kit don't match up to the power required to run the camera. No battery has enough power to run the camera for more than a couple mins. This problem makes the camera useless! nice camera, too bad nobody can use it!
