Looking around for a Coolpix replacement battery, and most seem to

I've been buying clone batteries for my digital cameras for at least 10
years and have not yet had a problem. I must have about 20 of them.

Why do you need so many then ?

I brought my canon G10 in 2009 with one battery and havent needed to
replace it yet. I brought an EOS M3 about 3 years ago and still using
the same battery.
I admit I should carry at least one spare battery,Â* but unless I had
5-10 cameras why would I need 20 batteries (unless they are
AA/AAA/AAAA etc...

My Ricoh caplio uses two standard AA cells :-).

Std, rechargeable (NiMH) or Lithium batteries can be used.

Still works 13 years after I bought it. My eyes on the other
hand struggle with the small LCD screen, almost impossible to
use the LCD in strong sunlight, but it has the advantage of
a zooming *optical* viewfinder (camera is nominallyÂ* 28-80).

Yes, the Ixus and G10 have that too. Becoming increasingly rare, though.
The EVF on the Fuji is pretty good. Lots of compacts these days only
have the back screen.
