I was happy with some compact kodak models, IIRC olympus used standards accumulators too, but i am not sure there are still selling on the market ?
Update:
I think Canon PowerShot A1400 is the most recent product that would fit my needs… wondering if there anything newer, or more sophisticated ?
I own a Canon DSLR and they sell an attachment to allow the camera to use AA’s (8 of them) instead of a lipo. That’s maybe a bit extreme, but it’s doable.
