Take it back and get a camera with an optical viewfinder.
I would choose almost any camera with an optical viewfinder over one that only has an LCD viewfinder. Why?
1. You never have the option of turning off the LCD and these things eat batteries for lunch and spit them out. Why do away with the option of a viewfinder that has zero electrical drain?
2. It can be difficult to see the image on an LCD in bright sunlight, even if they are "new and improved."
3. You have to hold an LCD viewer out at some distance in front of your face. This is more conspicuous than I prefer to be all the time.
4. The need to hold a camera at arms length will introduce some shake. I like the idea of stabilizing a camera against my face when I am taking a picture. This is especially important with a longer zoom lens. No wonder "image stablization" or "vibration reduction" is necessary with these cameras. Not that there's anything WRONG with IS or VR, but it is really a requirement with LCD viewfinders and telephoto lenses.
5. Using the LCD to view photos after you've taken them slows down the camera quite a bit. You can't shut of the LCD monitor and still take pictures if you don't have an optical viewfinder.

By some high capacity NiMH batteries and a recharger. High capacity is 2100 MAH or better, this should help you out a lot, although these batteries will still go flat if left inside the camera for more than a week or two without being used.
Make your next camera one with a dedicated Lithium Ion battery pack.

The three top-selling digital camera brands in 2006 were Canon, Sony, and Kodak, in that order. Olympus was fourth, and Samsung displaced Nikon for 5th. However, the number of professional photographers who use Samsung equipment could not be measured using sensitive seismic instruments.

Definitely take it back and tell them what happened. Sounds like it's defective. No camera should go through batteries that fast.
