[DigiCam] Re: consumer camera (Coolpix 885)

re; I think my 775 uses the same battery,I have always had a spare I 
have not needed yet,it seem almost any amount of time unused the camera 
is auto off,but a spare is a good idea anyway.while pictures download 
and such the camera can run from batt. or also runs from a cord 
attached from the recharger,another nice feature I have not needed 
yet,in fact Im such a beginner since I bought it my best results has 
been to turn the dial to auto and leave it,so far so great
