RTM---Read the manual. Most digital camera manufacturers suggest using lithium batteries which will extend battery life. Reqular on Duracells just won't cut it. The biggest battery eater is the screen, so try to keep it off as much as possible. After you take the picture, the LCD screen will show the picture--check that you got the pic you want--then turn it off. My digital camera automatically shuts off in 30 seconds if not used. Too expensive for me, but most digital camera makers offer a dock that you set the camera in at home when not in use, and it charges the batteries.

I agree completely with two of the suggestions that have been made. 1 - rechargeable batteries and 2 - LCD screen - if on all the time will drain the batteries at an alarming rate. I am a catastrophe adjuster for an insurance company (currently paying hurricane victims as much as I can without being fired in Mississippi). I use a digital camera every day for work, documenting the damages, and have found the above to immensely helpful. I also own a Nikon D70 with a rechargeable battery. With the correct settings I can take literally several thousand photos before I have to charge. My .02, but knowing me as I do, probably not worth that much...
