WHAT I SAW IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING!

I got a photo camera for my b-day, I like it but it operates with batteries and I don't like that!
I don't want to offend my children by exchanging the camera for one that I really like, because they chouse this one for me mmmmm, I don't know what to do?
If I choose a better camera, I have to throw at least 150.00 and I really don't want to spend that kind of money. I am going to try this one for few days to see how long the 4 batteries will last.
