Get it on Ebay for $190. Takes 2 AA's, has 10X zoom (optical), durable, 12 MP imaging chip.

Finding a decent P&S that runs on AA's is not easy. Everyone has gone to Lithiums, which IMHO suck for durability ion cold and using flash and cost $$$ for a spare or replacement. Plus Chinese knockoff Li-on batteries have a tendency to explode (ask any Android Smart Phone user).
