Want to Buy - Small Point n Shoot Cameras using AA Batteries
Apr 3, 2024 09:01:46 #
I am looking to purchase a small, inexpensive, point and shoot camera or two, any brand, that takes AA batteries. I have a photo project where I need a few to hand out to people, have them take pics, then give the cameras back to me to see what they come up with (hopefully they give them back!). I want the AA feature so I don't have to deal with varied batteries on a trip.
So, if you have such an item, please let me know.
Thx.

During the post pandemic, I taught classes to underprivileged kids. We gave them Vivitar F128 cameras. They cost the college about $25 each. They used AAA batteries as well as needing an SD card. The images were surprisingly good. It will also do a short movie. and has a built in flash. I would recommend this no frills camera.

Thank you very much. Purchased on eBay or something?

buy Local if you can. Of the 75 cameras we had about five did not work properly. The camera eats batteries so have plenty of spares.

Good luck. Many years ago, at our son's wedding, we gave out disposable cameras (remember them?) with instructions to use them and then return them. We got back less than half.

Nikon Coolpix L models use 2A batteries. I bought numerous ones from Shopgoodwill.com for my 4-H kids. Very inexpensive and hold up well.
