Polaroid Cameras I brochure

tend to be smaller and are definitely more expensive, and standard size batteries that you can buy in any electronics, grocery or drug store.

Proprietary battery packs:

If you opt for a very small camera you are going to get a special small battery supplied by the manufacturer. If you want a second back-up battery they are expensive, $40 to $50. The advantage to these batteries is that they are small and light. The downside?...if you run out of power at a remote location you‘d better have a spare or your charger with you.

Standard rechargeable batteries:

Larger cameras use size AA or similar batteries. You can get Nickel Metal Hydride, NiMH, batteries at any electronics store and some drug stores. A charger will cost about $20. The advantage of a standard size battery is that if you ever find yourself on the road with a low battery, you can buy an alkaline replacement almost anywhere.
