Doesn\'t make sense. You\'re saying the camera draws more power as it gets older?
I don\'t really know for sure what causes it. All I know is the anecdotal evidence I have collected over the years of dealing with this issue seems to point to this, yes.
My theory is this: You know how a battery\'s voltage will taper the less charge it has? Well a new camera will be able to operate at input voltages that vary up to , say %40 of the designed voltage input. But in older cameras, they somehow lose their versatility for operating in anything but the ideal voltage.
The reason I think this is because there have been a few times when people brought in their old AA cameras. The camera claimed the battery was dead, but my battery tester would rate the battery as being 60% full or more in some cases.
So anyway, AA cameras suck. I highly recommend you don\'t buy them.
