Most digital cams need a short pulse of high current from the batteries. I
have not looked at the curves of the lithiums but suspect they will not
give the high current. Many times the standard nonrechargables will not
give many shots either.


The manual from Sony's site page 98 where it lists what types of
cells should not be used, says "we cannot gurantee full
performance of the camera by property of the bartteries, such as
brownout of the batteries" .

Energizer's L91 AAs can supply 2 sec 3A pulses and continuous
2A which although, not as high as good NiMH would appear to be
well over any typical camera needs but this one may be a real
hog?.
