I didn't want it. It doesn't talk: it beeps. It uses 2 AA bateries that last a lot. I use rechargables, and I really don't know how long they last (obviously, more than what I can perceive). I guess every 2 or 3 36 rolls I have to recharge the bateries, but I really I don't remember. I understand that motors use up a lot of energy, so I guess mine is more 'fuel efficient'. The camera is great, and I wouldn't change it for an SLR (I'm obviously not into fotojrapy <(:-!). I only take faceshots, which is what this little devils are great for. Go for it! Adolfo ///
