How is battery life?

I am wondering how well this camera is with battery life. I do not want to be disappointed that after taking a small amount of pictures I am already out of battery juice. Thanks for your help!

My first digital camera was a Minolta F100 and I considered it a "good day" when I could get 15 pictures out of expensive rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries so I know your concern!!
The Canon A460 is CIPA rated to around 400 shots with high quality fully charged NiMH batteries per Steve's Digicams website.
Website Pocket-lint.co.uk reviewed this entry level camera and found their NiMH batteries ran out after 120 pictures.
Ken Rockwell (at kenrockwell.com) used brand new alkaline AA's and made over 400 pictures by not using the flash and conserving power by shooting some in burst/continuous mode. Ken's review is thorough if a little out dated (compares this to the SD700).
Other web sites describe this camera's battery life as "above average" and "excellent" using NiMh.
I don't think battery power will be your complaint with this camera.
I do recommend reading Ken Rockwell's review at kenrockwell.com regarding other possible annoyances, however.
