I have a travel camera sought (as successor for my elderly Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3) with GPS. The search was quite influenced by my previous, positive experience with Canon thoroughly. Unfortunately, I have the negative review that criticized the battery life ignored. My experience: battery charged, 5 pictures made (including 3 with flash) is not used, then 3 days a camera. On the 4th day I could not turn it - the battery was empty! After an additional charge: not much better. My conclusion: as a travel camera not suitable!
