How about Canon Powershot A720IS ??
Seems good..

Battery life
The A720 IS runs on two AA batteries, which as usual brings benefits (universal availability) and problems (limited capacity and slower than usual flash recycling) in almost equal measure. CIPA standard testing suggests you can expect to get around 140 shots out of the camera with Alkaline batteries or 400 with NiMh rechargeables.

also suggest any other good camera....
