digital slr cameras which use 'regular' (not rechargeable) batteries?

I am getting ready to go on camera safari to Africa. I am looking to buy a new slr digital camera with changeable lenses. In the bush for some ten to telve days without power,I can't take re-chargeable battery cameras. So, does anyone know of a decent camera (under $1000) which can use 'regular' batteries? I would be pleased with a Canon or Nikon but will consider anythng. Thanks for your help.

    The older Fuji Finepix S line uses standard AA size batteries. Mine is a S5000 which is only 3 MP, the newer S7000 has 6 MP. Both are discontinued but widely available used. The S line is not a SLR and does not have interchangeable lenses, but it does have a decent fujinon lens. A more recently discontinued model is the S1000 with 10 MP and AA battery.

    Most current designs have gone to Lithium ion batteries, so you might need to get something used.

    as far by using fact the common of the photographs the digital camera could have the skill to take, there isn't any distinction. you will basically could be sure which inserts your photographs form extra. As others have reported, the smallest, sleekest, thinnest cameras could have there very own rechargeable battery %. as an area saver. interior the long-term a digital camera that makes use of a chargeable battery %. will probable be extra fee-effective in case you employ it regularly by using fact batteries get high priced. although, in case you go with your digital camera (to be on) for long classes of time, you will possibly be extra helpful off to flow with something which you would be able to easily replace the batteries on. Compact digicams have a tendency to pull juice out of batteries with out postpone and in case you're actually not close to a wall outlet while that occurs, your digital camera is ineffective. If, on the different hand, you specifically choose to take snapshots of acquaintances or events or activities or such, a sleeker digital camera may well be extra helpful. remember you are able to continuously purchase rechargeable AA batteries besides.
