I recently got a Vivitar camera as I just wanted a basic one but after I put new batteries in they are finished within about 15 mins is this normal? Also how much time does recharceable AAA batteries give?

I have a Canon A710is. With the LCD on and using the flash 25% of the time I get 80+shots with Duracell AA's. With MAHA 2700mah AA rechargables I get 320+shots. Even the best standard batteries(Duracell, Energizer etc.) don't begin to compare to rechargables. If your camera really usesAAA batteries you need to get the highest mah rating you can find.

In general, rechargeable batteries do not last as long and if you put actuall AA or AAA batteries, your camera should last significantly longer.
I did have a problem with my last camera, because there was a tiny chip on the bottom that prevented the camera from properly being plugged into the charger. Check that the camera is actually charging. Also, turn it off when you are not using it, perhaps?

Rechargeable batteries will work for a continuous shooting of 4 hours flash off and without preview. Nominally a 2-3 hours of variable could fetch for an indoor and outdoor snaps.
