Anyway... thanks for the replies. I've looked into the GoPro and a few other cameras, but they didn't seem to be what I wanted. That new GoPro extended battery looks interesting, but may just give up for now. I don't think I'd get $300+ use out of it. Thanks for the replies
A relative of mine has a similar camera. I think they have a 1000 model. Somethign to think about if you like the camera. Get OEM batteries off Ebay for cheap to extend the battery run time. IIRC you can get around 3 batteries for the price of one Canon replacement battery. Never trust the claims on the batteries tilly ou test and verify the run time yourself and mark on the battery so you know the capacity on each one. I would safely say you can expect about 50-70% of the claimed battery capacity. Those Canon batteries are small and lightweight. 2 spare cells is about the weight of 2 x AA Duracell 2650 NIMH IIRC.
